Dodgers rally in 9th for 4-3 win over Cubs in Game 1 of split doubleheader

CHICAGO _ Pinch-hitter Kyle Farmer hit a two-run double off left-hander Justin Wilson with two outs in the ninth inning to give the Dodgers a 4-3 win Tuesday over the Cubs in the first game of a split doubleheader at Wrigley Field.

Wilson, handling the closer duties in place of Brandon Morrow, struck out Yasmani Grandal with runners at first and second base for the second out.

Grandal was ejected for arguing the third strike call, but Farmer pulled a 2-2 pitch past a diving Kris Bryant at third to score Austin Barnes and Justin Turner. That snapped a streak of 11 1/3 scoreless innings by Wilson.

Morrow, who has converted 16 of 17 save chances, has pitched only once since June 7.

The Cubs took a 3-2 lead on RBI hits by Bryant and Anthony Rizzo.

Bryant pulled a 3-2 pitch off Kenta Maeda down the left field line as it bounced into the seats for a two-run double in the second. Rizzo poked an opposite field single to left off Adam Liberatore to score Jason Heyward in the fourth.

Joc Pederson hit Tyler Chatwood's second pitch of the game for a home run. Chatwood walked five but limited the Dodgers to one run over five innings and 101 pitches.

Dodgers left fielder Matt Kemp and manager Dave Roberts were ejected for arguing a called-third strike on Kemp to end the fifth.

Javier Baez was inserted at second base as part of a double switch in the seventh. Baez is starting the second game against left-hander Rich Hill.

Also, Yu Darvish's simulated game has been moved back to Wednesday.

Left-hander Rob Zastryzny arrived from Triple-A Iowa and is available. Zastryzny takes the roster spot of Brian Duensing, who was placed on the bereavement list.
