Dodgers starter Zack Greinke almost went the distance in an outstanding victory over the Chicago Cubs Monday night from Chavez Ravine. He gave up a two-out two-run double to Brian Bogusevic in the bottom of the ninth to lose the shutout, but earned the win.

Greinke improved to 13-3 on the season as he dominated the Cubs. He gave up just five hits over 8 2/3 innings as he allowed just the two runs in the final frame. He walked two, hit a batter, and struck out nine. Greinke threw 122 pitches with his ERA moving to 2.86 on the year.

The 29-year-old continues to be sensational for the red-hot Dodgers. He's given up just three runs over his last four starts spanning 30 1/3 innings with 26 strikeouts over that stretch. Greinke has won his last five times he's taken the hill. He makes his next scheduled start for the Dodgers Sunday against San Diego.
