James Outman's Grand Slam Lifts Dodgers Over Cubs, Mookie Plays Shortstop, Bullpen Steps Up & More

James Outman broke out in a big way for the Dodgers in an emphatic win over the Cubs.

The Dodgers got a much needed win in their first game of a 7 game central America road trip. It wasn't just a regular ol' win though, it was an emphatic statement game... at least that's the way we hope we remember it a few months from now.

The game started with a rain delay and ended up locked in a non-traditional pitcher's duel. LA starter Michael Grove exited after 3-plus innings with a groin issue. Dodger pitching held the Cubs scoreless for 5 innings and James Outman played the hero with a huge go ahead grand slam in the 9th inning that proved to be the game winner.

It was his second homer of the game and the first grand slam and multi home run game in his young career.

After the game, Doug McKain got into all the highlights and reactions with fans live on Dodgers Nation TV. Watch the replay of the live stream below.
