Eddie Mathews hit a 2-run homer to get things going, and then Johnny Mize and Chuck Klein hit back-to-back solo shots just two batters later. The Docs got 2 runs back in the bottom of the 1st off LA starter Don Sutton, but in the 3rd, Mize hit his 2nd homer of the game, a 2-run jack to extend the lead again. Frank Robinson hit LA&#8217;s 5th homer in the 4th, and they added another run in the 5th when Klein&#8217;s grounder scored Mize, who had reached on a triple. Chicago&#8217;s Jim Edmonds hit a 2-run homer off LA reliever Jim Bunning to make it 8-5, but that&#8217;s all they would get. Barry Bonds had a chance to be the hero when Goose Gossage allowed 3 singles in the 9th to load the bases, but Bonds grounded into a double play to end the game. Chicago dropped to 11-25. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/baseballmaelstrom.com\/?sp_event=679\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Los Angeles @ Chicago &#8211; 5\/11\/22<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Los Angeles Dynamos wasted no time in dominating Chicago Docs starter Curt Schilling, hitting 3 home runs in the 1st inning on their way to an 8-5 victory to close to within a game of the St. Louis Wizards.
