The Dodgers used a mix of timely hitting and strong pitching in a 5-2 win over

Cubs led 2-0 until Puig lined an RBI double in the bottom of the fifth. Puig
also hit a solo homer in the seventh, one inning after Taylor’s solo blast off

The series stays in Los Angeles for Game 2 on Sunday. Rich Hill will start for
Los Angeles against Jon Lester.
