Dodgers get 3-2 win over Cubs with late game heroics

(LOS ANGELES) – Kenley Jansen sent a late-night text to Dodgers manager Dave Roberts after his blown save against the Cubs. He said he wanted the ball again against the Cubs. Jansen got his wish, and quickly found himself in trouble again. But he escaped, earning his 21st save the hard way, as Los Angeles rallied to beat Chicago 3-2 Sunday night. Russell Martin singled in the go-ahead run in the eighth inning and Alex Verdugo made a game-saving catch for the final out to help the NL West-leading Dodgers take three of four in the series. Martin struck out in his first three at-bats before poking a two-strike single to left off Steve Cishek (1-4). Third-base coach Dino Ebel sent Chris Taylor home from second after he walked to open the inning. Taylor slid headfirst and did a face-plant, his helmet going airborne, as the throw from Kris Bryant sailed past catcher Willson Contreras. Cody Bellinger hit his 23rd homer in front of his parents on Father's Day.
