Bobby Miller's major league honeymoon is officially over.After four stellar starts to begin his major league career, the Dodgers rookie went crashing back to reality on Saturday.In the team's 15-0 loss to the San Francisco Giants, Miller was charged with seven runs in 52/3 innings, unable to overpower hitters with his fastball, fool them with his breaking pitches or escape high-leverage jams the way he had during his first month in the big leagues.

Emmet Sheehan had a no-hitter in his MLB debut but the Los Angeles Dodgers bullpen again imploded, which eventually resulted in a 7-5 loss to the San Francisco Giants in 11 innings.Sheehan was called up from Double-A Tulsa for a start Friday night in lieu of the Dodgers moving ahead with their previously-planned bullpen game.

It is once again time to Beat LA.The San Francisco Giants are visiting the Los Angeles Dodgers, and we kinda had to wait for this one.Not only is it just the second series between the two rivals (thanks, new rules/schedule), but it's been a while since they played.They had a very early game Wednesday (10:15 a.m.

The White Sox and MLB are just under seven weeks away from the Aug. 1 trade deadline.And the South Siders aren't exactly performing up to par this season.They hold a 29-39 record, as of this writing, with a third-place standing in AL Central -- far and away the weakest division in baseball.If the Sox continue their ways as the deadline nears, one MLB analyst sees a perfect fit for Tim Anderson if the Sox pivot to sellers.

The Dodgers put together a complete team effort to down the Rays in Tampa Bay.Max Muncy had a nice little breakout from an ugly 2-27 stretch with 2 hits and 2 RBI in the much needed win for Los Angeles.Clayton Kershaw pitched well until he ran out of gas in the 5th inning.The Dodger bats came to life late to go ahead and stay ahead for good.

The Los Angeles Dodgers avoided a fourth consecutive series loss as they defeated the Chicago White Sox in a rubber match on Thursday, thanks to the heroics of Chris Taylor and Freddie Freeman.Chicago took an early 2-0 lead when Luis Robert Jr. and Eloy Jiménez hit back-to-back homers off Michael Grove with two outs in the first inning.

The Dodgers and White Sox played a dramatic rubber match to their series, with the Dodgers mounting a comeback to tie the game, and eventually coming out of it with a 5-4 win in extra innings.The much-beleaguered pen got six scoreless frames today and the Dodgers ended their three series losing streak.

A 5-4 Dodgers victory over the Chicago White Sox that was made possible by Chris Taylor's sixth-inning grand slam and Freddie Freeman 's 11th-inning walk-off RBI single Thursday night served as one giant cleansing breath for their beleaguered bullpen.The Dodgers entered the game with a 4.90 bullpen ERA, the second-worst mark in baseball ahead of only the Oakland Athletics, but four relievers combined to blank the White Sox on one hit and strike out nine over the final six innings before a crowd of 48,655 in Chavez Ravine on Thursday night.

A month after notching his 200th career victory on an exhilarating April night in Chavez Ravine, Clayton Kershaw took the mound on his home field under a different set of emotional circumstances on Tuesday night - it was just three days after the death of his mother, Marianne Tombaugh.

The Los Angeles Dodgers look to clinch a series win against the Chicago White Sox following a 5-1 victory in the opener on Tuesday.The Dodgers have currently lost three straight series following a home matchup with the New York Yankees and a poor road trip that saw them go 2-4, so they are trying to build momentum and get back on track.

Once a heralded shortstop prospect in the Los Angeles Dodgers farm system, Gavin Lux has spent the overwhelming majority of his time playing out of position at the Major League level.That was set to change this season with the Dodgers not making a bid to re-sign Trea Turner.For the first time since Corey Seager became the everyday starter in 2016, the Dodgers did not have an All-Star shortstop entrenched at the position.

The Dodgers are back home in Los Angeles and hoping that some home cooking can get them back on the winning side of the ledger.Coming off a 2-4 road trip, manager Dave Roberts will turn to 2022 All-Star Tony Gonsolin (3-1, 2.21 ERA) to get things going.Pedro Grifol and the visiting White Sox counter with veteran hurler Lance Lynn (4-6, 6.72 ERA).

The Dodgers needed an exceptional start from rookie Bobby Miller on Saturday and that's just what they got.Miller and Andre Jackson combined to shut the Phillies out 9-0 and, perhaps more importantly, keep the bullpen as fully rested as possible for today's bullpen game.LHP Caleb Ferguson makes his first "start" of the season and will face at least the top of the Philly lineup which features slugging lefties Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper.

The Dodgers continue this rough road trip and attempt to salvage it starting with rookie right-hander Bobby Miller (2-0, 1.06 ERA) on the mound.He goes for his third win of the season against Phillies ace Aaron Nola (5-4, 4.30 ERA).Coming off a heartbreaker of a loss on Friday night, the Dodgers need an exceptional start from Miller.

The Dodgers look to put Tuesday's nightmare behind them and break a three game losing streak.It certainly won't be easy as they send struggling right-hander Noah Syndergaard (1-4, 6.54 ERA) to the mound at Great American Ballpark.The Reds counter with rookie left-hander Brandon Williamson (0-0, 4.29 ERA) who's making the fifth start of his career.

The Los Angeles Dodgers entered the 2023 season with the plan of Gavin Lux and Miguel Rojas filling in nearly every game as their shortstops with Mookie Betts starting almost every day in right field.However, that changed when Lux suffered a season-ending torn ACL in his left knee during Spring Training, which forced Rojas into a starting role and made Chris Taylor the primary backup.

Through the first 60-plus games this season, the Dodgers have looked like a force to be reckoned with offensively.But there is one glaring hole in a lineup that's otherwise dominant.The offensive output from the shortstop position has been nearly nonexistent through the first third of the season, but the Dodgers might have their answer sitting in right field with Mookie Betts.

The Los Angeles Dodgers look to conclude their six-game road trip with a .500record by taking a rubber match against Philadelphia Phillies.The Dodgers have gone 2-3 on their current trip, along with a 1-1 record against the Phillies after winning 9-0 on Saturday.They currently sit second in the National League West following their recent cold streak, trailing the Arizona Diamondbacks by 2.5 games.

Miguel Rojas has filled in for Gavin Lux as the starting Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop this season, but injury problems of his own have limited the veteran's time on the field.Dating back to Spring Training, Rojas has dealt with a right calf and foot cramp, left groin tightness, left hamstring cramp and a left hamstring strain that placed him on the 10-day injured list.

Noah Syndergaard continued his tough stretch of performance yesterday, giving up six earned runs in three innings, inflating his ERA to 7.16.The offense could've added on some extra runs to make things easier for the bullpen, but that didn't happen and the Dodgers (35-27) got walked off for the second consecutive game.

The Los Angeles Dodgers look to avoid being swept by the Cincinnati Reds in the series finale following back-to-back walk-off losses at Great American Ballpark.The Dodgers' offense opened each of the first two games swinging well, putting up a combined 14 runs from innings one through four.However, L.A. has not scored from the fifth through ninth, while their bullpen has given up seven runs between the two games.

After dropping the series to the Yankees and losing three of the last four, the Dodgers have now added to that tally against the Reds to start their road trip.They once again rode the offense to a lead, but the pitching staff imploded, with the bullpen in particular struggling as they got walked off in a 9-8 loss.

The Dodgers scratched and clawed but couldn't work around the fact that Noah Syndergaard was on the mound in a frustrating 10-6 loss to the Nationals.LA held the lead at two different points in the game but Washington just kept pecking away in a fairly unclean effort by the Dodgers.Let's take a look at the highlights of this one.

It might just be me, but it sure seems like Noah Syndergaard is stuck pitching day games, and specifically day games at Dodger Stadium, more often than anyone else in the starting rotation.And actually taking the time to look over the Dodgers' schedule this season and Syndergaard's fourth day game does indeed give him the lead on the team, breaking a tie with Clayton Kershaw and Julio Urias.

After a rough landing last night to start both this four-game series against the Cardinals and the 10-game road trip, there were a lot less fireworks in the sequel.Both sides struggled to score for a while until the Dodgers struck in the 5th, and it was neck-and-neck until the Dodgers put up a crooked number in the 8th for a 5-0 win.

Just three innings into Wednesday's 8-6 loss to the Cincinnati Reds, the Dodgers pulled starting shortstop Miguel Rojas from the game.While we didn't know the reasoning for the move in the moment, the team later posted an update on Twitter, attributing the decision to Rojas experiencing neck tightness.

Home/Dodgers Team News/Dodgers Notes: Reds & Thor Equally Hurting LA, Miguel Rojas Injured, Urias' Return & More Another day, another heartbreaking loss for your Los Angeles Dodgers and the big question now stands: What will Noah Syndergaard's future look like?He himself said that he is open to any moves the front office is mulling and his confidence appears to be at all-time low.

The Los Angeles Dodgers underwent a lot of changes to their roster during the offseason, but so far they have not seen their production dip and even set a franchise record for the most extra-base hits through the first 60 games of a season.The 2023 Dodgers produced 223 extra-base hits through the series finale against the New York Yankees, surpassing their previous franchise record of 221, which was set during the 60-game season in 2020.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are starting a three-game series against the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday, looking to end a mini two-game losing streak thanks to the New York Yankees.What was once a normal Tuesday game has now been completely upended with the news of Reds top prospect Elly De La Cruz getting called up to start the game.

The Yankees reversed their fortunes after a tough loss to the Dodgers last night, defeating LA on relatively low-stress night.They pulled away early thanks to a pair of homers from Jake Bauers off Dodgers starter Michael Grove, despite a career night from the young hurler, and they didn't look back in a 6-3 win.

The Dodgers (35-24) went 1-for-11 with runners in scoring position in the 6-3 loss to the Yankees (35-25) Saturday evening at Dodger Stadium.The Yankees once again flexed their power with four home runs to tie up the series against the Dodgers.Outside of the two bad pitches Grove cruised over the plate to Jake Bauers, his velocity was surprisingly way up in his return from the injured list.

When Mookie Betts stepped into the batter's box for the final time on Friday night, the stakes were minimal - except they weren't.The Dodgers had a six-run lead over the New York Yankees in the bottom of the eighth inning.But there were two outs, which meant Betts had to reach base for Freddie Freeman to have a chance to extend his 20-game hitting streak.

There were a lot of questions about the Dodgers lineup entering the 2023 season.The team was missing multiple key contributors from the last few years, including Justin Turner, Trea Turner and Cody Bellinger.The Dodgers were unusually quiet in the offseason, leaving even more doubt that this lineup would be able to compete as one of the best in all of baseball.

All season, the Dodgers' offense has been inconsistent yet productive, streaky but successful."If you look at where guys are at," manager Dave Roberts said Saturday, "some guys have been ice cold and then they run really hot."That was the case again in the Dodgers' come-from-behind, 6-5 win over the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field, coupling superstar-like performances from Freddie Freeman and Mookie Betts with just enough offensive punch from the rest of the team.

The Dodgers enter Tuesday as one of the best and hottest teams in all of baseball.The team currently sits at 30-19, just percentage points behind the Atlanta Braves for the best record in the National League.The Dodgers' starting pitching is struggling and the bullpen is greatly taxed, but the offense has found ways to pick up the slack as of late.

The Dodgers completed a massive comeback against the Braves on Monday night, turning a 4-0 1st inning deficit into an 8-5 victory.J.D. Martinez and Freddie Freeman were the hitting stars of the game with 7 hits and 5 runs batted in between them.Rookie starter Gavin Stone put together an uneven game but a certain learning opportunity of a game.

The Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees met for the first time since the 2019 season, which resulted in a bit of a Home Run Derby at Dodger Stadium between the two powerful offenses.Backed by four homers and a stellar outing from Clayton Kershaw, the Dodgers took the first game of the series with an 8-4 victory.

The highly-anticipated series between two historic rivals quickly turned into a lopsided affair as the Los Angeles Dodgers hit four home runs en route to slugging their way to an 8-4 win over the New York Yankees.Mookie Betts got the Dodgers off to a roaring start with the 41st leadoff home run of his career.

The Dodgers kick off a huge series with the New York Yankees tonight at Dodger Stadium.For game one, fans are getting a good one with ace Clayton Kershaw (6-4, 3.32 ERA) on the mound for LA against Luis Severino (0-0, 1.59).The boys in blue are coming off an 18-10 month of May that saw them score 173 runs and stay in first place in the NL West from wire to wire.

The 2022 Dodgers' offense was historically good, scoring an incredible 5.2 runs per game across the 162-game season.Through two months of this season, the 2023 Dodgers' offense has been even better.Through the first 56 games of the season, the Dodgers have scored 316 runs, averaging out to 5.6 runs per game.

The Los Angeles Dodgers clinched a series win over the Washington Nationals on Tuesday with a 9-3 victory led by the offensive performances of Jason Heyward, Freddie Freeman and J.D. Martinez.Heyward opened the scoring with a solo home run to right-center field in the second inning, which gave the Dodgers a 1-0 lead.

The best offense in baseball up against Noah Syndergaard turned out about how you'd expect, with the Rays (38-15) winning the first game of the series by a score of 9-3.After a red-hot stretch, the Dodgers (31-21) are now just 4-6 in their last ten games.The team will look to bounce back today behind Clayton Kershaw, up against the right-handed Tyler Glasnow who'll be making his season debut.

After losing two in a row, the Dodgers look to get back in the win column with Clayton Kershaw back on the mound for the first time since returning from the bereavement list.The Rays, who beat LA 9-3 on Friday, send Tyler Glasnow to the mound for his first start of the season after battling the injury bug since undergoing Tommy John surgery in 2021.

The Atlanta Braves fell for the second straight night as their offense sputtered in a 8-1 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers.The Braves jumped out to the early lead in Monday's opener, but it was the Dodgers that turned the trick Tuesday.Mookie Betts greeted Spencer Strider with a double to the left field corner to start the game.

After a brief skid against the Cardinals that saw their streak of six series victories in a row snapped, the Dodgers have now won the first two against the Braves to take this series thanks to a 8-1 victory tonight.Of course, a hopeful debut was the star today.======
Spencer Strider is just about as good a pitcher as you'll find in baseball today, and the Dodgers were up for the challenge immediately.

The Los Angeles Dodgers fell behind to a big deficit early against the Atlanta Braves but battled back to earn an 8-6 win, and their 30th of the season, led by the offensive performances of J.D. Martinez and Freddie Freeman.Gavin Stone made his second career start, replacing the injured Dustin May, and struggled early against a tough Braves lineup.

One night after the St. Louis Cardinals hit seven home runs in a blowout win at Busch Stadium, the Los Angeles Dodgers bounced back to pitch a shutout in a 5-0 win.Tony Gonsolin led the strong effort from the mound by throwing a season-high 94 pitches over five innings.Gonsolin became the first Dodgers starting pitcher to provide as much length since he also went five frames on May 14.

The Dodgers (28-17) lost the opening game of a four game series against the Cardinals (19-26) last night by a score of 16-8.It was.... interesting to say the least.Chad finally got to use his iconic dumpster fire picture for a game recap for the first time this year.They got out to an early 2-0 start, before Julio Urias allowed four home runs and six total earned runs in the third inning alone.

If you missed Dodgers vs. Cardinals on Thursday, you missed quite the game.The Lakers were playing against the Nuggets in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals, so I don't blame you if you missed the Dodger game.But if you did, you're in the right place.Here's everything you need to know about the insane, high-scoring affair that unfolded to open the series in St. Louis:
What Just Happened in This Dodger Game?

The Dodgers go for win number 6 in a row on Mookie Betts bobblehead night at Dodger Stadium.The Minnesota Twins come to town for three games and bring some old friends (Kenta Maeda, Kyle Farmer, Brock Stewart, Joey Gallo) along with them... they also bring a long-time villain, Carlos Correa.Noah Syndergaard (1-3, 6.12 ERA) puts his glued up finger to the test against a middle of the pack offense that has posted a the 16th-best - or 15th-worst - OPS in baseball.

The Los Angeles Lakers are heading back to the Western Conference Finals after eliminating the defending NBA champion Golden State Warriors with a convincing 122-101 win at Crypto.comArena.A plethora of celebrities were in attendance for the Lakers' Game 6 victory, including three-time GRAMMY Award winning musician Bad Bunny.

Freddie Freeman downplayed the Los Angeles Dodgers' struggles against left-handed pitching this season and backed up his sentiment by providing a game-high three RBI in their 4-2 win over the San Diego Padres.Friday's matchup was the fourth between the Dodgers and Padres since last Friday, and L.A. has won three of those meetings.

Dodgers shortstop Gavin Lux was hoping to somehow make it back from his torn ACL before the end of the 2023 season.That, however, isn't going to happen.After Lux injured his knee early in spring training, he was reportedly holding out some hope that he could return before the season ended.In 2016, then-Cub Kyle Schwarber tore his ACL in the first week of the 2016 season and somehow made a miraculous return in the World Series.

The Los Angeles Dodgers acquired Miguel Rojas for a backup role on the club, but he was pushed into a starting job when Gavin Lux suffered a season-ending torn ACL and LCL in his right knee during Spring Training.The early results of playing every day have not been kind to Rojas.The 34-year-old shortstop has dealt with numerous injuries, and when he is on the field, he's hitting just .193/.258/.211

The Los Angeles Dodgers hit three home runs in a second consecutive game and Clayton Kershaw dominated the Milwaukee Brewers in an 8-1 win to finish the road trip.The Dodgers have won four series in a row for the first time this season and 10-2 in their last 12 games.Wade Miley initially held the Dodgers lineup in check as he had a perfect game through three innings.
