(CHICAGO) – Anthony Rizzo sprinted toward the third-base dugout as his teammates tried to mob him. It was quite a scene; and quite a series. A three-game sweep against the defending champions? The Cubs will take it. Rizzo capped Chicago's two-run 11th inning with an RBI single, and the Cubs beat the struggling Los Angeles Dodgers 6-5 on Wednesday night to complete the sweep. ...... {LISTEN}. Chicago's Matt Duffy tied it when he drove in Willson Contreras with a two-out single against Garrett Cleavinger (0-3). Duffy stole third and pinch-hitter Tony Wolters walked before Rizzo, who entered the game in the 10th, singled on a sharp grounder to left. He was mobbed by teammates as he ran off the field following the Cubs' second game-ending hit in as many days. David Bote hit a winning single in the ninth the previous day in the nightcap of a doubleheader. Alec Mills (2-0) got the win despite giving up two runs in two innings. Jake Marisnick homered, and the Cubs swept three from the Dodgers at Wrigley Field for the first time since 2008. The Dodgers lost for the 13th time in 17 games since a 13-2 start. And manager Dave Roberts can sense the urgency in the clubhouse. Los Angeles' Max Muncy homered for the second straight game when he connected against Adbert Alzolay in the the fourth. He also hit an RBI double in the 10th and scored in the 11th. Walker Buehler pitched six solid innings. But the Dodgers were unable to protect the late leads they built.
