"After losing four in a row and six of their last seven, the Dodgers ace was on the mound looking to put a stop to things. Thankfully, Yoshinobu Yamamoto was up to the task, twirling 8.2 no-hit innings before giving up a solo homer to Jackson Holliday to end that bid. The offense did manage to scrape across some runs to give him a lead, but the lack of insurance would cost them, as the pen absolutely melted down."
"They're 22-32 since July 4, the fourth worst record in baseball over that stretch, ahead of just the Twins, Rockies, and Nationals. The loss dropped their lead in the NL West to just one game over the Padres (77-65), but they're still six games clear of the final team looking to reach the postseason in the Giants (72-70). Clayton Kershaw is on the mound this morning as the Dodgers look to avoid back-to-back sweeps to end their road trip,"
The Dodgers suffered a deflating walk-off loss after Yoshinobu Yamamoto carried a near no-hitter into the ninth and the bullpen surrendered three runs with one out remaining, losing 4-3 to the Orioles. The team has gone 22-32 since July 4, the fourth-worst stretch in baseball, and has dropped its NL West lead to one game over the Padres while remaining six games ahead of the Giants for the final postseason spot. Clayton Kershaw will start the next game as the Dodgers attempt to avoid consecutive series sweeps to end their road trip.
