CHICAGO -- With some of their big hitters getting the day off, it was sharp pitching that helped the Los Angeles Dodgers break a franchise record that stood for 89 years. Chris Capuano scattered six hits over 6 1-3 innings and the Dodgers set a team record with their 13th straight road win, 3-0 over the Chicago Cubs on Saturday. The Dodgers, who havent lost on the road since July 6 in San Francisco, eclipsed the 1924 mark set by the Brooklyn Robins. "You go out there and youre just waiting to see whos going to drive in the runs and get the big hits," Capuano said. "Its a good feeling when you come to the park." Los Angeles is in the middle of a stretch of 26 games in 27 days, and manager Don Mattingly gave his infield an alternative look by taking four-time All-Star first baseman Adrian Gonzales, hot-hitting second baseman Mark Ellis and third baseman Juan Uribe out of the starting lineup. No matter. There were others who came through at the plate. Carl Crawford broke open a 1-0 game by driving in two runs with a single in the sixth inning. Jerry Hairston Jr. singled in the first run in the third for NL West-leading Los Angeles, which is 13-2 since the All-Star break and has won 30 of its last 37 overall. "Its a good feeling to be a part of history, to keep winning," Crawford said. "The team is jelling really well right now." Capuano (4-6) came up with his second straight strong start and third in his last four. He struck out five and walked only one before four Dodgers relievers closed it out. "Cappy really did a good job finishing pitches, the whole thing," Mattingly said. "Some nice plays in the infield but Cap was really efficient doing his thing." The Dodgers turned three of their four double-plays behind Capuano, who has been rocked at times this year. But on Saturday he was crisp and in command. "For me, hes attacked with his fastball more and continued to use that and not always get to his off speed," Mattingly said. "I just think hes used his whole repertoire for the right guys." Brandon League relieved Capuano with one out in the seventh and runners on first and second but got out of the inning by getting Cody Ransom to ground into a double play. Kenley Jansen pitched a perfect ninth to earn his 16th save in 19 chances. Jeff Samardzija (6-10) allowed three runs over six innings in Chicagos third straight loss. He gave up seven hits, five walks and hit a batter, but was able to get out of jams with nine strikeouts. "Fastball command is going to be the dictation of pretty much everybodys outing and he really didnt have it today," Cubs manager Dale Sveum said. "He battled and got the outs and kept the game close, but obviously the pitch count after six innings was way too many." Dodgers rookie Yasiel Puig had a pair of singles and scored a run. He has hit safely in 12 of his last 14 games, including seven multi-hit games during that span. Puig made a diving catch on Starlin Castros line drive into the gap with one out in seventh and a Chicago runner on second to preserve the shutout. He left the game after the inning with bruised thumb. "Well see how I feel tomorrow before the game," Puig said through a translator. "Ill take some swings and well decide then." The Dodgers took a 1-0 lead in the third on Hairstons RBI single that drove in Puig. Samardzija escaped a one-out, bases-loaded jam in the fourth by striking out Crawford and Puig swinging. He wasnt as lucky in the sixth after Skip Schumaker walked to open the inning then advanced to third on Tim Federowiczs double one out later. Samardzija struck out Capuano, but Crawford lined a sharp single to right to make it 3-0. The Cubs loaded the bases in the eighth against relievers Ronald Belisario and Paco Rodriguez, but Rodriguez struck out Wellington Castillo swinging on a full count to end the threat. NOTES: Gonzalez is hitting .301 and leads the Dodgers with 105 games played, 120 hits, 15 homers and 66 RBIs. Scott Van Slyke filled his spot at first base, but Gonzales pinch-hit in the ninth. Ellis had extended his hitting streak to 13 games -- he is 19 for 47 during that span -- on Friday. Schumaker took his spot and Hairston played third until Uribe pinch-hit in the eighth and stayed in the game .. Mattingly said before the game that RHP Zack Greinke is still "lined up" to start Saturday, but hinted that he might make a last-minute tweak to the rotation and push Greinkes start back to Monday. Los Angeles doesnt have another off-day until Aug. 15 and Mattingly is trying to keep his starters fresh. ... Dodgers OF Matt Kemp, who is on the DL with a sprained left ankle, is wearing a boot and threw in the outfield before Saturdays game. "Hopefully thats going to help him bounce forward," Mattingly said. "I know the plan in St. Louis is to start the baseball stuff back up again, start hitting off a tee and getting in the cage." .

And thanks to an 11-5 2015 record and a playoff berth, the Vikes saw a 45-spot increase in bang for the buck. All things considered, the Vikings are on their way up -- in these standings and, perhaps, the NFC North.Whats goodLast year, Mike Zimmer became the first coach in NFL history to lead a team to a division title while playing in a temporary stadium. The Vikings response? Giving Zimmer, originally on contract through 2017, an extension that adds a reported two years to his deal. Vikings fans, too, showed their love: Zimmer jumped 15 spots in these rankings, all the way to 15th overall. Fans have swooned over Zimmers blunt, candid style, and under his leadership the Vikings jumped from 32nd to fifth in points against. The Vikings bowed out of the playoffs after one round last season, and if Zimmer patches together another playoff team after injuries to running back Adrian Peterson, left tackle Matt Kalil and quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, he may make believerrs out of the few remaining holdouts.ddddddddddddWhats badNew stadiums are expensive, and as many teams have, the Vikings asked fans to shoulder a large chunk of the cost. Ticket prices remain around the NFL average, at $85, but its one of just two areas in these rankings in which fans placed the Vikings in the bottom half. The team did roll out a personal seat license program to cover $125 million of U.S. Bank Stadiums $1.1 billion cost, but the prices of concessions (though the Vikings still have the NFLs cheapest hot dog, at $3.00) and many of the stadiums better seats have jumped.Whats newFor perhaps the first time in their history (unless you accept the theory that the Metrodome was cutting-edge for a few years in the early 1980s), the Vikings have a state-of-the-art stadium to call their own. Thats no small feat to Minnesota fans, who bumped up the teams Stadium Experience an astonishing 71 spots. U.S. Bank Stadium opened with some logistical hiccups, but offers striking views of downtown Minneapolis and plenty of natural light through the clear roof on the stadiums south side. The stadium also offers the closest seats to the field in the NFL, and some unique high-end seating areas -- like the fantasy sports lounge with couch seating and table service.Next: Atlanta Falcons?| Full rankings Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Wholesale Nike NFL Jerseys Wholesale NFL Womens Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Stitched Jerseys Cheap NFL Black Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys 2020 ' ' '
