On the mound, Cubs left-hander Matthew Boyd fell into lockstep with Yamamoto, matching his zeros on the scoreboard for five innings. But in the sixth, Boyd allowed a single to Teoscar Hernandez, hit Freddie Freeman with a pitch and surrendered a three-run homer to Tommy Edman.

Los Dodgers starting pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto (2-1) allowed two hits and one walk while striking out nine across six scoreless innings in Friday's 3-0 win over the Chicago Cubs. He picked up his second win of the season.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are off to one of the best starts in the MLB this season, and that continued on Friday night. The Dodgers’ pitching staff absolutely shut down the Chicago Cubs at Dodger stadium while the offense did just enough to get a 3-0 win.
