Cubs Crush Dodgers 16-0, Marking Historic Shutout Loss

The Chicago Cubs achieved a historic 16-0 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers, marking the Dodgers' worst home shutout loss in franchise history and their largest road defeat to the Cubs since 1915. This win was highlighted by strong performances from Michael Busch and Carson Kelly, who combined for five hits and five RBIs. The Cubs' offense overwhelmed the Dodgers, particularly in the latter innings, pushing their total runs this season to a league-leading 112. The Dodgers, who began the season strong at 8-0, have since struggled with a 2-7 record. Rookie pitcher Roki Sasaki performed well initially but was unable to contain the Cubs' powerful lineup as relief pitching faltered. The series finale is set for Sunday, with both teams looking to rebound from this game.
