Dodgers 12, Cubs 4: Six-Run Fourth Snaps Chicago's 10-Game Streak

April 25, 2026 - Los Angeles - The Los Angeles Dodgers ended the Chicago Cubs winning streak at 10, beating them 12-4 behind a six-run fourth inning and Roki Sasaki's second major league win.

ESPN's game story put the shape of the night in one sentence: the Dodgers rallied with six runs in the fourth, and the Cubs never recovered. Los Angeles finished with 14 hits, while Chicago had nine.

The Fourth Inning Broke It Open

The Cubs had been finding ways to win late, but the Dodgers did not leave this one to the ninth. The fourth inning gave Los Angeles a full cushion and took the drama out of the streak watch.

Sasaki earning his second MLB victory adds another layer. The Dodgers do not need him to carry every night, but every strong outing makes the long-term ceiling feel louder.

AthX Engine Fantasy Angle

AthX Engine team scoring likes the Dodgers' profile: 12 runs, 14 hits, and a win that ended a hot opponent's streak. Sasaki's pitching line also gets a boost from the win, while the lineup's run total spreads hitter value across several Dodgers bats.

What It Meant

For Los Angeles, this was a statement after Chicago's run had become the story. For the Cubs, every streak ends somewhere. This one ended in a six-run inning at Dodger Stadium.
