Dodgers losing streak is 90-year low point and wrong type of history

"The Dodgers have now lost four consecutive games by at least four runs for the first time in Los Angeles franchise history. Their only other stretch with such defeats was from July 1-4, 1936, when they were still in Brooklyn. Their current stretch of defeats started with a pair of five-run losses to the Atlanta Braves before falling 9-3 to the Giants on Monday night followed by the four-run loss Tuesday."

"The Dodgers had plenty of scoring opportunities as they loaded the bases twice against the Giants in Tuesday's matchup, but came away with only one run on Will Smith's sacrifice fly in the first inning. Similar to what was the case for Max Muncy in the series finale against the Braves, Smith was robbed of an extra-base hit by a strong catch."

""I think that when you're really not slugging, or you're not throwing out double-digit hits a night, then the opportunities are few and far between," Roberts began. "And so that's where our margins, even on the offensive side, are just more finite. You get a guy on second base to lead off an inning, and you got to get him to third, and then you've got to get get that point across. And we're just not doing that, on top of not slugging and not creating a bunch of traffic and stress.""

""I mean, we're confident in our team and everyone," Kyle Tucker said. "No one's freaking out""

The Dodgers fell 6-2 to the San Francisco Giants, marking four straight losses by at least four runs for the first time in Los Angeles franchise history. The skid began with two five-run defeats to the Atlanta Braves, then included a 9-3 loss to the Giants on Monday and a four-run loss on Tuesday. Los Angeles created scoring chances by loading the bases twice, but produced only one run on a Will Smith sacrifice fly in the first inning. Manager Dave Roberts attributed the recent offensive struggles to poor situational hitting, saying the team is not slugging enough to turn opportunities into runs. Kyle Tucker emphasized confidence and said the team is not panicking despite the downturn.
