CHICAGO (AP) ― The Los Angeles Dodgers overcame another injury scare and extended their franchise-record road winning streak to 14 games.
A.J. Ellis hit an RBI single, and Stephen Fife pitched into the sixth inning on a day when Zack Greinke was pushed back for rest to help the Dodgers to a 1-0 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Sunday.
Manager Don Mattingly moved Greinke’s scheduled start to Monday, saying he wanted to keep his starting pitchers fresh and rested. Mattingly said there was nothing wrong with Greinke, who will face the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday.
Cardinals drub Reds 15-2
CINCINNATI (AP) ― Even when things go horribly wrong on the road, the St. Louis Cardinals can always count on one soothing stop. No matter how deep their slump, it’ll end in Cincinnati.
Matt Carpenter broke his 0-for-23 slump with a bases-loaded double during the decisive rally, and the Cardinals ended a tough trip on the upswing by beating the Reds 15-2 on Sunday.
