The Chicago Cubs pulled off a thrilling comeback against the Los Angeles Dodgers, scoring five runs in the eighth inning to secure a 6-3 win at Dodger Stadium.

Pete Crow-Armstrong's standout defense and two RBIs played a key role in the Cubs' victory, taking advantage of multiple defensive errors by the Dodgers.

Cubs were able to make the Dodgers pay for errors

The Cubs mounted their late-game rally in the eighth inning, exploiting three costly errors by the Dodgers.

Throwing errors by catcher Austin Barnes and center fielder Tommy Edman, along with a fielding error from Enrique Hernandez, opened the door for Chicago to score five runs and take control of the game.

Shota Imanaga's solid display kept the Cubs close

Cubs starter Shota Imanaga (13-3) delivered a strong outing, allowing three runs on seven hits over seven innings while striking out four. The left-hander kept Chicago in the game, giving them a chance to strike late, much like his previous start, a combined no-hitter against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sept. 4.

After Imanaga, the Cubs bullpen shut down the Dodgers' offense. Nate Pearson and Porter Hodge each pitched a scoreless inning, with Hodge earning his fifth save. Pete Crow-Armstrong made a game-saving catch in the ninth inning, robbing Max Muncy of a potential game-tying home run.

In addition to his spectacular defense, Pete Crow-Armstrong drove in two runs, including a crucial insurance run in the eighth inning. Nico Hoerner and Seiya Suzuki each contributed three hits and an RBI for the Cubs (75-70), who remain in the hunt for the final National League wild-card spot, trailing the Atlanta Braves and New York Mets by four games.

Dodgers' center fielder Tommy Edman hit two solo home runs in the second and fourth innings, his first in a Dodgers uniform since being traded from the St. Louis Cardinals in July. Max Muncy added a home run in the fifth inning, extending the Dodgers' lead to 3-1 before the Cubs' late surge.

Dodgers' defensive collapse ultimately cost them

Leading 3-1 in the eighth inning, the Dodgers' defense faltered. Austin Barnes' throwing error on a Dansby Swanson ball placed two runners on with no outs. Seiya Suzuki's single scored a run, and Swanson crossed the plate after Tommy Edman's errant throw, tying the game. The Cubs took a 4-3 lead on a fielder's choice, with Enrique Hernandez's fielding error allowing another run to score.

Making his first start since June 15, Dodgers' right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto allowed just one run on four hits in four innings, while striking out eight. Despite his solid performance, the Dodgers' defense ultimately let the game slip away.
