Larkin’s 2 HR Power Dynamos Over Docs

For the first two innings, the Los Angeles Dynamos and the Chicago Docs traded runs and leads at Wrigley Field. But then Dynamos starter Jim Bunning settled down while the Docs’ Jerry Koosman continued to struggle. LA put up 5 runs in the 3rd, aided by Barry Larkin’s 2nd homer of the game, and never looked back. They were Larkin’s first homers of the season. Bunning allowed 4 runs in those first two innings, all driven in by Barry Bonds, but held Chicago scoreless in the next 5. In fact, 6 of the Docs’ 7 hits were in those first two innings. Bunning picked up his first win in this outing. Meanwhile, Chicago’s Koosman was shelled for 10 runs. He fell to 1-4. LA inched closer to .500 and is now 10-11. Chicago has fallen to 7-14. The Docs’ Todd Helton was ejected in the 7th for arguing a 3rd strike call.
