Fun Facts about the 3 Games vs. Chicago Cubs
The Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago Cubs played a three-game series at Dodger Stadium from April 11–13, 2025, with the Cubs winning 2-1. Here are some cool facts about those games:
-
Record-Breaking Shutout: In Game 2 (April 12), the Cubs demolished the Dodgers 16-0, the worst home shutout loss in Dodgers history. Chicago pounded out 21 hits, including nine extra-base hits, with Carson Kelly hitting two homers and Michael Busch adding a homer and two doubles.
-
Roki Sasaki Shines Despite Loss: Dodgers rookie Roki Sasaki, in his second MLB start during Game 2, pitched five innings, allowing just one run (a Busch homer). Despite his solid outing, the Dodgers’ offense was silent, and the bullpen collapsed, leading to the 16-0 rout.
-
Michael Busch Haunts L.A.: Former Dodgers prospect Michael Busch, now with the Cubs, dominated the series, going 6-for-13 with two homers, two doubles, and multiple RBIs. His solo shot off Sasaki in Game 2 and a near-grand slam (robbed by Andy Pages) highlighted his revenge tour.
-
Cubs’ Pitching Stifles Stars: Chicago’s pitchers held the Dodgers’ lineup, featuring Shohei Ohtani and Mookie Betts, to just five runs across the series. In Game 2, Ben Brown tossed six scoreless innings with a fastball/knuckle-curve combo, and in Game 3, Colin Rea limited L.A. to one early run.
-
Miguel Rojas’ Mound Adventure: In Game 2’s blowout, Dodgers shortstop Miguel Rojas pitched the eighth and ninth innings, throwing 40-mph lobs. He mimicked teammates Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Clayton Kershaw’s windups for laughs but gave up five runs, including a homer to Kelly.
-
Pete Crow-Armstrong’s Big Day: In the series finale (April 13), Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong went 3-for-4 with a triple, two homers, and key RBIs, powering Chicago to a 4-2 win and securing the series.
-
Late-Game Explosions: The Cubs’ offense surged late in Game 2, scoring 14 runs from the seventh inning onward after a 2-0 lead through six. Kyle Tucker’s two-run single and Miguel Amaya’s two-run homer were part of the onslaught.
-
Dodgers’ Offensive Struggles: Despite their star power, the Dodgers averaged just three runs per game over their last nine games, including this series. In Game 3, they managed only one hit off Rea’s fastballs, underscoring their slump.
-
Injury Notes: Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki left Game 2 early with right wrist pain, a recurring issue, but Chicago’s offense didn’t miss a beat. Dodgers’ Freddie Freeman sat out Game 3 for rest after dealing with rib discomfort earlier in the season.
-
Series Impact: The Dodgers, who started 2025 at 8-0, dropped to 8-4 after this series, with the Game 2 loss ending their franchise-record 151-game streak of allowing 12 or fewer runs. The Cubs improved to 6-6, gaining momentum.

-
Offensive Explosion in Game 3: The final game on April 16 was a high-scoring affair, with 15 runs scored between the two teams, 13 of which came in the first three innings.

-
Tommy Edman’s Hot Bat: Dodgers’ center fielder Tommy Edman had a standout performance in the series, particularly on April 15, when he went 4-for-4 at the plate. His contributions included two doubles, a triple, six home runs, and 14 RBI over recent games, showcasing his offensive prowess.
-
Mookie Betts and Shohei Ohtani Go Deep: In the series opener on April 14, both Mookie Betts and Shohei Ohtani hit home runs. Betts’ two-run homer and Ohtani’s solo shot were pivotal in securing the 5-3 victory, underscoring the star power in the Dodgers’ lineup.
-
Rockies’ Bullpen Resilience: Despite the losses, the Rockies’ bullpen showed fight in the final game on April 16. Posts on X noted their solid performance, holding the Dodgers in check after the early onslaught, though it wasn’t enough to overcome the deficit.
-
Injury Challenges for Both Teams: Both teams dealt with significant injuries. The Dodgers were without key players like Freddie Freeman (ankle), Clayton Kershaw (toe), and Blake Snell (shoulder), while the Rockies missed Kris Bryant (lumbar), Austin Gomber (shoulder), and others. Despite these absences, the games remained competitive.
-
Tanner Scott’s Clutch Save: In the nail-biting 8-7 win on April 16, Dodgers’ closer Tanner Scott earned his sixth save of the season, shutting down the Rockies in the ninth inning to preserve the victory. This was especially notable as Rockies’ Brenton Doyle pinch-hit in the ninth, adding late drama.
-
Historical Context: The Dodgers have historically dominated the Rockies, with a 178-117 head-to-head record and a .310 team batting average in their last 10 games against Colorado. This series continued that trend, with LA winning 9 of their last 10 against the Rockies.
Fun Facts About Globe Life Field
Here are some cool facts about Globe Life Field, the home of the Texas Rangers in Arlington, Texas:
-
Massive Retractable Roof: The stadium’s 5.5-acre, 240,000-square-foot retractable roof is the largest single-panel operable roof in the world. It can open or close in about 12-15 minutes and uses transparent ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) to let natural light in, maintaining an outdoor feel even when closed.
-
Climate-Controlled Comfort: Designed to combat Texas’ intense heat, Globe Life Field features a 10,000-ton air conditioning system that keeps the stadium at an average of 72°F. This was a major upgrade from the open-air Globe Life Park, where summer games could be swelteringly unbearable.
-
Tribute to Rangers History: The field’s dimensions pay homage to Texas Rangers legends and key moments. For example, the 42-foot distance from home plate to the backstop honors Jackie Robinson, and other measurements nod to players like Nolan Ryan, Ivan Rodriguez, and Adrian Beltre.
-
Hydraulic Pitcher’s Mound: The pitcher’s mound can be raised or lowered hydraulically in about 10 minutes, allowing the stadium to quickly transform for non-baseball events like concerts, football games, or even motocross.
-
Unique Seating Features: The stadium has 40,300 seats, 9,000 fewer than its predecessor, to create a more intimate feel. It also offers rocking chairs in section 203 for a “Texas back porch” vibe and premium seating like the Dugout Club, which puts fans closer to the action than any other MLB stadium.
-
Historic Moments in a Young Stadium: Despite opening in 2020, Globe Life Field has hosted major events, including the entire 2020 World Series (the first neutral-site Series due to COVID-19), the 2023 World Series (where the Rangers won their first championship), and the 2024 MLB All-Star Game. It also saw the first no-hitter in Padres history by Joe Musgrove in 2021.
-
Synthetic Turf Innovation: The field uses a specially designed synthetic grass by Shaw Sports Turf, chosen for player safety and durability. It’s one of only five MLB stadiums with artificial turf, featuring a natural infill called Geofill for better ball and player interaction.
-
Massive Video Boards: The right-field video board (58’x150’) is the only one in MLB that extends over the playing field, while the left-field board (40’x120’) is 50% larger than its predecessor at Globe Life Park. The center-field out-of-town scoreboard was repurposed from the old stadium’s left-field board.
-
Versatile Event Space: Beyond baseball, the stadium has hosted the 2020 National Finals Rodeo, a 2021 Army vs. Air Force football game, college baseball tournaments, and concerts by artists like Cody Johnson. It’s even set to host a 2025 INDYCAR street race and “The Big Dill World’s Largest Pickle Party.”
-
Texas-Sized Construction: Building the stadium required excavating 1.3 million cubic yards of dirt, hauled away by 97,000 truckloads, and involved 11,000 workers over 31 months. The $1.2 billion project was funded through a public-private partnership, with Arlington contributing $500 million via taxes.

Fun Facts about the 3 Games vs. Texas Rangers
The Los Angeles Dodgers played a three-game series against the Texas Rangers at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, from April 18 to April 20, 2025. Here are some cool facts about those games:
-
Pitching Duels Stole the Show: The series featured sensational starting pitching. In the first game on April 18, Dodgers’ Yoshinobu Yamamoto (2-1, 1.23 ERA) outdueled Rangers’ Jacob deGrom (0-0, 4.30 ERA), leading to a 3-0 Dodgers win. Yamamoto kept the Rangers’ lineup in check, allowing minimal offense.
-
Dramatic Walk-Off in Game 2: On April 19, the Rangers pulled off a thrilling 4-3 comeback victory.

This game highlighted the Rangers’ ability to capitalize on close games, as they were 5-0 in one-run contests at that point.
-
Shutout in the Finale: The Dodgers clinched the series with a 1-0 victory on April 20, thanks to a stellar bullpen effort. Freddie Freeman’s sacrifice fly in the eighth inning broke a scoreless tie, and six Dodgers relievers combined for a shutout after starter Tyler Glasnow exited early due to leg cramps. This game showcased the Dodgers’ depth despite injuries.
-
Injury Challenges: Both teams were dealing with significant injuries. The Dodgers had multiple pitchers on the injured list, including Clayton Kershaw (60-day, toe surgery) and Blake Snell (15-day, shoulder), while the Rangers were without Wyatt Langford (10-day, oblique) and Josh Sborz (60-day, shoulder). Despite these setbacks, both teams leaned on their depth.
-
Max Muncy’s Defensive Heroics: In the April 18 game, Dodgers’ third baseman Max Muncy made two standout plays in the ninth inning to secure the 3-0 win. His defensive efforts helped closer Tanner Scott navigate a tense situation, preserving the shutout.
-
Tyler Mahle’s Gem: In the April 20 game, Rangers starter Tyler Mahle was nearly untouchable, throwing 7.0 innings, allowing just 2 hits, no runs, and posting a 0.68 ERA. Despite his dominance, the Rangers’ offense went silent, managing no runs, which led to their series loss.
-
Series Context: The Dodgers entered the series with a 14-6 record, third in the NL West, while the Rangers were 12-7, leading the AL West. The series was tightly contested, with the Dodgers winning 2-1, extending their strong interleague play. The Rangers, however, remained formidable at home, with a 1.64 ERA across the series.
Fun Facts About Wrigley Field
Wrigley Field, home of the Chicago Cubs, is a baseball icon with a rich history. Here are some cool facts:
-
Built in 1914: Originally called Weeghman Park, it hosted its first game on April 23, 1914, for the Chicago Whales of the Federal League. It became Wrigley Field in 1926 after William Wrigley Jr., the chewing gum magnate, took ownership.
-
Ivy-Covered Walls: The outfield walls are famous for their English ivy, planted in 1937 by Bill Veeck. The ivy turns vibrant colors in fall, but if a ball gets stuck, it’s ruled a ground-rule double.
-
Hand-Operated Scoreboard: The center-field scoreboard, built in 1937, is still manually operated. Workers update scores using metal plates, and it’s one of the last of its kind in MLB.
-
Lights Came Late: Wrigley was the last major league park to install lights, in 1988. The first night game was scheduled for August 8 but was rained out, so August 9 became the official first lit game.
-
Rooftop Views: Nearby buildings have rooftop seating for fans, a tradition since 1914. The Cubs fought legal battles over these views but now own many of the rooftops.
-
Cubs’ Curse Breaker: Wrigley hosted Game 7 of the 2016 World Series, where the Cubs ended their 108-year championship drought, defeating Cleveland in a dramatic 10-inning game.
-
Wind Factor: The park’s location near Lake Michigan means wind patterns affect games. “Blowing out” winds favor home runs, while “blowing in” winds keep balls in play.
-
Cultural Landmark: Designated a National Historic Landmark in 2020, Wrigley’s architecture, including its red marquee and vintage charm, draws millions beyond baseball fans.
