LOS ANGELES — – Roki Sasaki<\/a> earned his second major league victory and the Los Angeles Dodgers<\/a> rallied with six runs in the fourth inning to beat the Cubs 12-4 on Saturday night, snapping Chicago’s 10-game winning streak.<\/p>\n

Shohei Ohtani<\/a> ended an 0-for-12 skid with a single in the first and then swiped second for just his second stolen base of the year. He had one of the Dodgers’ 14 hits as Los Angeles set a season high for runs at home.<\/p>\n

Sasaki (1-2) gave up four runs – three on solo homers by Seiya Suzuki<\/a>, Mois\u00e9s Ballesteros and Miguel Amaya<\/a> – and seven hits with a career-high 99 pitches on his bobblehead night. The Japanese right-hander struck out five in his fifth career start, pitching into the sixth inning for the first time this year. He went 1-1 as a rookie last season before working as the closer during the Dodgers’ run to their second straight World Series championship.<\/p>\n

The Dodgers scored 10 or more runs for the fourth time this season. After scoring six in the fourth inning, they tacked on four more in the sixth. Andy Pages<\/a> had a two-run double off reliever Javier Assad<\/a> and later scored on a wild pitch by Vince Velasquez<\/a>, who was called up Friday.<\/p>\n

Max Muncy<\/a> hit a tying two-run homer in the third for the Dodgers, who had lost five of seven. Their bullpen blew a four-run lead in a 6-4 loss<\/a> in the series opener Friday that dropped them out of the NL West lead for the first time this season.<\/p>\n

The Cubs took their last lead, 3-2, on Ballesteros’ two-strike homer off Sasaki in the fourth.<\/p>\n

The Dodgers went ahead for good by playing small ball in the bottom of the inning.<\/p>\n

Alex Freeland<\/a> tied the game at 3 with an RBI double. Freddie Freeman<\/a>‘s RBI single chased Cubs starter Colin Rea<\/a> (3-1). Teoscar Hern\u00e1ndez had a two-run single and Dalton Rushing<\/a> and Pages had RBI singles – all with two outs – to open an 8-3 lead.<\/p>\n

Trailing 8-4, the Cubs left the bases loaded in the sixth. Dodgers reliever Jack Dreyer<\/a> struck out Dansby Swanson<\/a> and Pete Crow-Armstrong<\/a> before Will Klein<\/a> came in and induced a groundout to the mound by Amaya that ended the threat.<\/p>\n

Up next<\/p>\n

Cubs LHP Shota Imanaga<\/a> (2-1, 2.17 ERA) starts Sunday’s series finale against LHP Justin Wrobleski<\/a> (3-0, 1.88).<\/p>\n
