Garland goes 4-for-4 in Los Angeles Win
Mike Garland was a major factor in the 7-6 Los Angeles win over Chicago. The Dodgers second baseman was 4 for 4 with a home run, a double, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 3 runs and drove in 2. Jorge Gonzáles picked up the win in relief. His record improves to 1-1. Orlando Romero suffered the loss. Mike Morin, credited with the save, is now 33 for 37 in save opportunities.

Garland had a game-changing home run in the top of the ninth. On a full count curveball from Orlando Romero, he banged a 2-run home run to right-center, giving the Dodgers a 7-6 lead. It was the 19th home run of the year for Garland.

"I like our moxie," said Dodgers manager Torey Lovullo.

Los Angeles is now 81-34, 23½ games up in the National League West Division.
