Kyle Hendricks (2-6) gave up three runs on seven hits over six innings. Travis d’Arnaud had the only extra-base hit for Los Angeles, a second-inning double.
Los Angels hitters combined to strike out 15 times with three hits against Cabrera and three relievers. Ronny Henriquez pitched the ninth for his first career save.
