Pete Crow-Armstrong went 3-for-4 and slugged two home runs as the visiting Chicago Cubs won the rubber match of their three-game set 4-2 against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday.
Reliever Ethan Roberts (1-0) got the final two outs of the sixth inning to earn the win, and Ryan Pressly was perfect in the ninth for his fourth save.
Dodgers reliever Blake Treinen (0-2) allowed one run, Crow-Armstrong's second bomb of the game, on two hits in the seventh inning. Starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow gave up two runs on three hits and struck out seven in six innings.
Crow-Armstrong, a Los Angeles-area native, gave Chicago a 3-2 lead when he knocked a cutter from Treinen over the fence in center field.
In the eighth, Kyle Tucker was awarded a ground-rule double after his hit to left field, which was initially ruled foul, was overturned on a Cubs challenge. He advanced to third on a wild pitch and scored on Nico Hoerner's single to make it 4-2.
Michael Busch, who broke into the majors with the Dodgers, belted a slider into the right field stands in the top of the sixth inning to put Chicago ahead 2-1.
Cubs reliever Caleb Thielbar replaced reliever Brad Keller in the bottom half, but his appearance was short-lived. Michael Conforto led off with a single to center and Will Smith followed with double to move Conforto to third. Max Muncy's sacrifice fly to right brought in Conforto to tie it 2-2.
That ended Thielbar's outing, with Roberts getting a pair of lineouts to end the inning.
The Dodgers took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the second. Conforto knocked a line-drive single to center field, advanced to third on Smith's single, and scored on Enrique Hernandez's single to left.
Chicago responded in the top of the third. Crow-Armstrong connected on a four-seam fastball, putting it just inside the right field pole for his first home run of the season, tying the game 1-1.
Cubs starter Colin Rea allowed one run on four hits and fanned five in 3 2/3 innings before being replaced by Keller in the fourth.
