The Los Angeles Dodgers lost 9-1 to the Milwaukee Brewers, tying their season-high losing streak at four games. This defeat follows a sweep by the Houston Astros, where the Dodgers were outscored 29-6. Key players like Max Muncy and Kiké Hernández are injured, contributing to recent struggles. Manager Dave Roberts emphasizes the need for improvement in pitching, defense, and batting. Mookie Betts acknowledges the challenges posed by injuries and the difficulty of replacing All-Star caliber players while stressing the need for others to step up.
"Shoot, I don't think there's a team in baseball that's at full strength. I just feel that with the guys we have, we just have to play better. We've got to pitch better, we've got to defend better, we've got to take more competitive at-bats. And we're just not doing any of those things right now. Yeah, you look back four or five days ago, things were more positive. But, this is a time for us to kind of look at ourselves and be better."
"We haven't hit very good. That's pretty much it. We were just playing well, and it's just a part of the season. It's just not going to be perfect every day. You can't replace All-Stars (like Muncy and Teoscar Hernandez). You can't replace guys that have won MVP in postseason (Edman). You can't replace those type of things. The next man has to step up and do what he can do. But I mean, you can't replace those guys."
