Dodgers Win Thriller, 8-7
The home crowd was treated to a thrilling, walk-off win.

A 3-RBI performance from Bruce Edwards, who is tied for 9th in the NL with a .823 OPS, helped the Brooklyn Dodgers beat the Chicago Cubs, 8-7. The Cubs, now 20-15, have lost 4 straight.

The decisive blow was delivered by Barney McCosky in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a run-scoring double off 28-year old left-handed pitcher Joe Page to win the game for Brooklyn. The home crowd went nuts.

"It was a solid team effort," said Edwards after the game.
