In Chicago, the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Chicago Cubs 2-1 in a rematch of their NLDS matchup last postseason. With the win, the Dodgers improved their record to 34-15, which is the best in the majors. The Dodgers got an early 2-0 lead on RBIs from Rafael Furcal and Casey Blake. Dodgers' starter Randy Wolf pitched a good game, only giving up one run and six hits in seven innings. The one run given up by Wolf was a home run by Bobby Scales in the eighth inning. Dodgers' reliever Ramon Troncoso came in to relieve Wolf and pitched two innings for the save. Cubs' pitcher Randy Wells was good as well, giving up two runs in seven innings. However, those two runs were enough for the Dodgers and Wells got the loss.
