The Chicago Cubs on Saturday handed the defending-champion Los Angeles Dodgers the franchise's most lopsided shutout loss against any team in 60 years in a 16-0 rout. The pasting represented the Dodgers' worst shutout loss since an 18-0 road loss to the Reds in 1965.
And in terms of shutout losses at home, Saturday's trouncing was the worst since the then-Brooklyn Dodgers' 15-0 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1898.
