The Los Angeles Dodgers dominated the Chicago Cubs 12–4 on April 25 at UNIQLO Field at Dodger Stadium, with the home team's offense generating 14 hits and 11 RBIs while posting a .830 OPS. Despite the Cubs hitting three home runs and striking out 11 Dodgers batters, they managed only nine hits and four RBIs, reflecting their offensive struggles at a .791 OPS. Los Angeles' pitching staff proved decisive, striking out 11 Cubs hitters while allowing just nine hits and four earned runs for a 3.40 ERA, compared to Chicago's 3.79 ERA across 12 earned runs allowed. The Dodgers' balance—combining solid contact hitting with dominant pitching—overwhelmed a Cubs lineup that couldn't capitalize on its power despite three long balls. This lopsided victory underscores Los Angeles' early-season depth and the Cubs' need to tighten their run prevention.
