The Cubs had a near-perfect start Wednesday night in Los Angeles.

The Dodgers one-upped them — and made some history in the process.

Los Angeles crushed 4 home runs off lefty Jordan Wicks in the bottom of the 1st inning, erasing a 2-run deficit and turning it into a 3-run lead. It was the first time in franchise history that the Dodgers had homered 4 times in the 1st inning. The Dodgers would go on to win the game 10-8 in a bit of a wild contest.

Shohei Ohtani started it for the Dodgers, hitting a 118.1-mph line drive home run to right-center — his 47th of the season — to cut the deficit in half. Wicks appeared to have settled in, inducing a flyout from Mookie Bets and striking out Freddie Freeman.

Teoscar Hernández extended the inning with a single to right field. That’s when the Dodgers started a mini home run derby as Tommy Edman, Will Smith and Max Muncy hit back-to-back-to-back home runs. Wicks would escape the jam two batters later.

It erased the Cubs’ solid first turn at the plate.

With 2 outs in the top of the 1st, Seiya Suzuki and Cody Bellinger drew back-to-back walks. Isaac Paredes drove in Suzuki with a single and Michael Busch doubled to score Bellinger and make it 2-0.

Nico Hoerner hit a flare into shallow right that second baseman Chris Taylor snagged out of the air to end the inning.

Suzuki hit a solo home run in the 3rd to make it a 5-3 game, but the Dodgers responded with 2 runs in the bottom of the frame — seemingly putting the game out of reach.

But the Cubs mounted another rally — like they did Wednesday night.

They scored 4 runs in the 5th inning — a 3-run home run by Bellinger and a tying single by Pete Crow-Armstrong.

Los Angeles added a run in the 7th and 2 more in the 8th.

The Cubs had a chance to tie or take the lead in the 9th. They loaded the bases with 3 straight walks against Michael Kopech to open the frame. Paredes came up to bat representing the go-ahead run and hit a sacrifice fly to right field.

But Suzuki was caught stealing at third base for the second out and Busch struck out to end the game.

It’s a tough loss for the Cubs, which moves them 5 games back of the Mets in the NL Wild Card race with 16 games to play.
