Dodgers fall to Arizona as pitching and fielding woes lead to fourth straight loss
Briefly

The Los Angeles Dodgers suffered a disappointing 9-5 defeat against the Arizona Diamondbacks, marking their fourth consecutive loss. The game was characterized by poor defensive plays, including misplays by center fielder Hyeseong Kim and third baseman Max Muncy, leading to unearned runs. The pitching staff, particularly Jack Dreyer and Landon Knack, struggled, surrendering home runs and failing to contain runs. While Mookie Betts and Shohei Ohtani hit home runs, the team's offense was largely stagnant. The lack of significant base runners led to a frustrating night, ending with a small rally in the ninth that fell short.
Dodger Stadium was eerily quiet for much of Monday night. And not just because whole sections of the upper deck sat largely empty.
...the Dodgers didn't just drop their fourth straight game, but turned in a performance that elicited as many boos as anything else at Chavez Ravine.
Mookie Betts hit two home runs in his continued search to break out of a slow start... But all three blasts came with no one on base.
The Dodgers' only other scoring came in the ninth, when a two-run rally proved much too little, much too late.
