CHICAGO >> It’s probably intellectually lazy on my part to write the same story every day, but … the Dodgers hit two home runs and allowed three Monday, neither team’s offense showed up otherwise, and the Cubs won 4-2.

What distinguished this game from all the others before it: the floodlights went out for a time over Wrigley Field, the game ended under protest (which I assume Joe Maddon has already dropped), and the sunset created a creepy yellow-orange-brown hue. This color is not listed in the box score.

Since this didn’t make my game story, here’s what crew chief Jerry Meals told a pool reporter about the 10-minute visibility delay: “We felt that we would be able to continue playing, that it was sufficient lighting,” Meals said. “Out of the six banks, none were out. There was scattered lights out, and the information I got from Roger with the Cubs (groundskeeper Roger Baird) was that the lights are going to come on slowly, sporadically, one at a time here or there. Once they warm up, they’ll continue coming on and probably within 15 minutes they’d all be on.”

Prior to the game, Joel Peralta reflected on his road back from a potential career-ending injury.
