"The Dodgers (24-16) continued their stretch of bad baseball, dropping two of three over the weekend against Atlanta. The offense somehow put up three runs against in the win on Friday night, but only managed two ninth inning runs on Saturday and two eighth inning runs on Sunday in a pair of 7-2 losses."
"Blake Snell returned off the IL with a typically Snell start on Saturday, needing 77 pitches to get through three innings and had some rough batted ball luck but generated 16 whiffs. Justin Wrobleski followed suit with both his longest start and his best start of the season regarding strikeouts (7) and whiffs (13), but had to wear it and gave up seven runs on seven hits in 8 2/3 innings."
"It continued a rough stretch for the Dodgers, who were 16-6 after leaving Colorado on April 20 and are 8-10 since. That patch started in their first series against todays' opponent, the Giants. The Dodgers went up to San Francisco and dropped the first two games, scoring only one run in the first two games before winning the finale 3-0."
"Dodger-killer Patrick Bailey is gone, as they surprisingly traded him to Cleveland for a pitching prospect and a draft pick on Saturday. Roki Sasaki gets the ball after being pushed back a few days with Snell's return."
The Dodgers dropped two of three games against Atlanta, scoring three runs in a win on Friday but totaling only two ninth-inning runs on Saturday and two eighth-inning runs on Sunday in 7-2 losses. Blake Snell returned from the IL and produced 16 strikeouts but needed 77 pitches to get through three innings. Justin Wrobleski matched his season highs with seven strikeouts and 13 whiffs, yet allowed seven runs on seven hits over 8 2/3 innings. The Dodgers fell from 16-6 after leaving Colorado on April 20 to 8-10 since. The slump began with a series against the Giants, where the Dodgers lost the first two games and won the finale 3-0. The Giants have since gone 5-10 after moving toward .500, and they recently traded Patrick Bailey to Cleveland for a pitching prospect and a draft pick.
