CHICAGO, May 29 (UPI) -- Kosuke Fukudome's seventh-inning sacrifice fly Friday led the Chicago Cubs to a 2-1 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Chicago scored both its runs in the bottom of the seventh to erase a 1-0 deficit.

Before Fukodome's game-winner, Koyie Hill belted his second homer this season, a solo shot into the right field seats.

Micah Hoffpauir had two of the eight hits for the Cubs, who had split their previous four games.

Winner Ted Lilly (7-4) gave up an earned run and just four hits in seven innings with three walks and five strikeouts.

Carlos Marmol pitched a scoreless eighth and closer Kevin Gregg earned his eight save with a 1-2-3 ninth.

LA's run scored on Matt Kemp's seventh-inning homer.

Losing pitcher Chad Billingsley (6-3) yielded two earned runs and eight hits in seven innings with two walks and seven strikeouts.

Four others had one hit for the Dodgers, who had won four in a row.
