Dodgers Struggle Amid Pitching & Defense | Los Angeles News

The Dodgers are in freefall, losing eight of nine games as Justin Wrobleski’s shaky start—four runs in under three innings, including a home run—adds to mounting woes. Defense crumbled with costly errors, including blown double plays and wild throws, while offense stalled early. Manager Dave Roberts suspects pitch tipping but finds no evidence, blaming instead poor plate discipline and a league-leading double-play rate. With key bullpen arms like Tanner Scott and Edwin Díaz worn down and struggling, the team’s postseason hopes hinge on a new rotation: Cy Young winners Tarik Skubal and Blake Snell joining Yoshinobu Yamamoto—a trio poised to turn things around if they can just get it together before October.
