Sandy Koufax entered the game with two straight shutouts, but Chicago ended that streak with Buster Posey&#8217;s RBI single in the 1st inning. The Docs lead was short-lived, as Jackie Robinson hit an RBI triple in the 3rd off Cole Hamels. Hamels allowed 3 runs that inning, and another in the 5th. In the 6th, Frank Robinson put the game away with a 2-run home run, giving LA a 7-1 lead. Barry Bonds added a solo homer off Koufax in the 8th, but that&#8217;s all Chicago would get. Kevin Brown pitched 3 innings of relief for the Docs, allowing a run on a sacrifice fly to Tony Gwynn. Koufax became the 1st pitcher with 5 wins. He also added 9 strike outs, and leads the league with 57. The 5-game winning streak puts Los Angeles in a tie with Chicago in the National League, both teams 1 game behind Houston. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/baseballmaelstrom.com\/POPsS2\/Scoresheets\/04-22-2023_LAN_CHN.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Dynamos @ Docs - 4\/22\/23\">Dynamos @ Docs &#8211; 4\/22\/23<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Los Angeles Dynamos kept their winning streak going, topping the Chicago Docs 8-2 to pull into a tie for 2nd place with the Docs.
