Dodgers score 6 runs in 4th to snap the Cubs' 10-game winning streak with 12-4 victory

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Roki Sasaki earned his second major league victory and the Los Angeles Dodgers rallied with six runs in the fourth inning to beat the Cubs 12-4 on Saturday night, snapping Chicago's 10-game winning streak.

Shohei Ohtani ended an 0-for-12 skid with a single in the first and then swiped second for just his second stolen base of the year. He had one of the Dodgers' 14 hits as Los Angeles set a season high for runs at home.

Sasaki (1-2) gave up four runs — three on solo homers by Seiya Suzuki, Moisés Ballesteros and Miguel Amaya — and seven hits with a career-high 99 pitches on his bobblehead night. The Japanese right-hander struck out five in his fifth career start, pitching into the sixth inning for the first time this year. He went 1-1 as a rookie last season before working as the closer during the Dodgers' run to their second straight World Series championship.

The Dodgers scored 10 or more runs for the fourth time this season. After scoring six in the fourth inning, they tacked on four more in the sixth. Andy Pages had a two-run double off reliever Javier Assad and later scored on a wild pitch by Vince Velasquez, who was called up Friday.

Max Muncy hit a tying two-run homer in the third for the Dodgers, who had lost five of seven. Their bullpen blew a four-run lead in a 6-4 loss in the series opener Friday that dropped them out of the NL West lead for the first time this season.

The Cubs took their last lead, 3-2, on Ballesteros' two-strike homer off Sasaki in the fourth.

The Dodgers went ahead for good by playing small ball in the bottom of the inning.

Alex Freeland tied the game at 3 with an RBI double. Freddie Freeman's RBI single chased Cubs starter Colin Rea (3-1). Teoscar Hernández had a two-run single and Dalton Rushing and Pages had RBI singles — all with two outs — to open an 8-3 lead.

Trailing 8-4, the Cubs left the bases loaded in the sixth. Dodgers reliever Jack Dreyer struck out Dansby Swanson and Pete Crow-Armstrong before Will Klein came in and induced a groundout to the mound by Amaya that ended the threat.

Cubs LHP Shota Imanaga (2-1, 2.17 ERA) starts Sunday's series finale against LHP Justin Wrobleski (3-0, 1.88).

ATLANTA (AP) — Bryce Harper had four RBIs, including a tiebreaking single in the 10th inning, and the Philadelphia Phillies snapped their 10-game losing streak with an 8-5 win over the Atlanta Braves on Saturday night.

Phillies ace Zack Wheeler made his 2026 debut and looked strong, giving up two runs and three hits over five innings. The right-hander returned from thoracic outlet decompression surgery after a blood clot was discovered in his pitching shoulder last season.

After the start was delayed 56 minutes because of rain, Wheeler struck out six, walked three and left with a 3-2 lead. Harper had two hits and scored twice for the Phillies, who hadn't won since April 13.

Brad Keller (1-0) tossed 1 1/3 hitless innings for the win. Kyle Backhus got Michael Harris II to ground out with two runners aboard to end it.

Ozzie Albies was 3 for 5 with an RBI and Harris went 2 for 4 with two RBIs for the Braves, who had won nine of 10.

Tyler Kinley (3-1) walked Trea Turner to open the 10th, and José Suarez walked Kyle Schwarber to load the bases before Harper's two-run single gave Philadelphia a 6-4 lead. Two batters later, Brandon Marsh tacked on a two-run single to make it 8-4.

Braves starter Bryce Elder lasted seven innings, giving up three runs and six hits while striking out two and walking one. He exited with a 4-3 lead.

Schwarber led off the Philadelphia eighth with a triple to center field over the head of Eli White and scored on a sacrifice fly by Harper that tied it at 4.

Braves LHP Chris Sale (4-1, 2.79 ERA) faces RHP Aaron Nola (1-2, 5.06) in the finale of the three-game series Sunday.
