Recap: Clayton Kershaw failed to get his first win of the season again tonight at Wrigley as the Dodgers' defense and bats failed him once again. Last year's NL Cy Young winner was hurt by a 1st inning error that led to 2 unearned runs. Los Angeles could only squeak out one run against Ryan Dempster and the Cubs' relievers on a sacrifice fly by Andre Ethier in the 6th.

Notes: Despite the RBI, Ethier's 9-game hitting streak came to an end. The Dodgers still hold a half game lead over the Rockies for the NL Divison.
