Wading In

Wade Davis comes in to pitch to the Dodgers in the eighth with the Cubs leading 3-1. Davis is in for the two-inning save.

Update: Justin Turner greets Davis with a solo home run to deep left-center. The Cubs lead the Dodgers 3-2.

Update: Davis walks Yasiel Puig to put the tying run on base with no one out. This is not what the Cubs were looking for out of their closer.

Update: Andre Ethier pops out in foul territory, Kris Bryant makes a nice catch near the fence. One down.

Update: Curtis Granderson strikes out. Two down.

Update: Wow. The umpires conference and say the last pitch was a foul ball. Maddon is incensed, and he should be. It looked like Granderson missed on the replay.

Update: Maddon was ejected. Granderson swings and misses at the next pitch. Now Granderson is really out.

Update: Yasmani Grandal walks on a 3-1 pitch. Now the tying run is in scoring position.

Update: Chase Utley bats, mired in a terrible slump. He falls behind 1-2, then swings and misses for the third out. Davis preserves a lead, but not the lead, as the Cubs lead the Dodgers by one.
