LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Dodgers rallied from a pair of early five-run deficits and completed a stellar homestand with an 11-9 victory over the Chicago Cubs. Freddie Freeman went 4 for 5 with a homer and two RBIs as the Dodgers got their seventh consecutive victory. P.J. Higgins hit his first career grand slam during Chicago’s five-run first inning, and David Bote hit a three-run homer in the third to put the Cubs up 8-3. But Chicago’s bullpen again failed to contain Los Angeles’ powerhouse lineup, blowing a lead for the third time in four games.
