Updated 2026-05-18 13:01

Here’s the latest information I can confirm: Game 1 of the 2016 NLCS between the Dodgers and Cubs was won by the Cubs, 8-4, at Wrigley Field. The Cubs jumped out early, built a lead, and held off L.A. throughout the game, with key moments including Miguel Montero’s pinch-hit grand slam in the eighth inning to widen the gap.[1][2][5]

Notes on sources and context:

If you want, I can pull exact box score lines (who drove in which runs, pitching decisions by Lester/Kershaw, etc.) or assemble a brief play-by-play snapshot of Game 1. I can also provide a concise list of notable moments from that game.
