The Chicago Cubs have done it. Yet again. It is a clear win that they snatched away from the Los Angeles Dodgers. A brilliant 4-2 score that has made it look even more historic, right in the middle of a heated baseball season. This has marked the team’s second straight loss.

The Chicago Cubs wins while Los Angeles Dodgers loses the game

Things were different for the Los Angeles Dodgers. From making brilliant wins in the last few games, to losing pretty badly, the team needs to strategize more. Dodgers’ Shohei Ohtani is in a slump. He was hit less in five at-bats. Even his batting average dropped to .273 with 4 home runs in 17 games.

Despite multi-hit games by ace players Will Smith and Michael Conforto, the Dodgers' offense had struggled. Even pitcher Tyler Glasnow couldn’t secure run support. The bullpen even gave up the most important key runs.
Meanwhile, for the Chicago Cubs, Pete Crow-Armstrong was able to secure two home runs, while Michael Busch scored one more. Their bullpen held the lead after starter Colin Rhea gave up just one run in 3⅔ innings. It was the Chicago Cubs' solid pitching and big hits that led them to victory against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium.

Fans share hilarious reactions to Cubs’ victory and Dodgers’ loss

MLB took to X to announce the Chicago Cubs’ stunning victory. The post said:
The Chicago Cubs are victorious on Sunday night baseball and take the series from the Los Angeles Dodgers.

However, fans were quick enough to call out the MLB’s X account for their bias towards the Los Angeles Dodgers. Even in the past, the fans have claimed that MLB has shown a clear bias towards the Dodgers and their baseball players. Most fans brought to notice that the MLB used “caps lock” to show their excitement when a Dodgers’ player made a brilliant move.
A fan asked whether the media manager was happy, he said:

“Ah the media manager here isn’t happy, no caps lock?!”
Another fan questioned where the caps were lock now. He asked:

“Don’t run from the caps lock button now MLB admin.”
Another fan asked:

“Where the caps?? Poor admin’s team lost.”
Meanwhile, another fan asked:

“All caps when the Cubs destroy your favourite team.”
