David Peralta hit a walk-off two-run single and the Los Angeles Dodgers rallied for a 2-1 win over the Chicago Cubs on Saturday night.
Miguel Vargas beat out Seiya Suzuki’s throw to home plate on a ground ball single to short right by Peralta, giving the Dodgers their first walk-off win of the season.
It was the third RBI in 12 games for Peralta, one of several members of a reconstructed Los Angeles roster still trying to find themselves.After a strong outing by Michael Grove, who gave up one run, two hits and two walks in 5 2/3 innings, and some timely work by relievers Caleb Ferguson and Shelby Miller , it was a single by James Outman, a double by Vargas and pinch-hitter Peralta’s winning hit that secured a much-needed win.
Michael Fulmer took the loss, and the Cubs wasted five strong scoreless innings from Jameson Taillon. The Cubs could have added to their lead in the eighth, but Caleb Ferguson came on to get the Dodgers out of a bases-loaded jam by striking out Ian Happ and Suzuki, and Los Angeles took advantage of its reprieve. "We had some really good outings by guys in the pen, namely Fergie, and that was the difference in the game," Roberts said. "I got to give Caleb a lot of credit, and that inning that Shelby gave us kept that momentum.
