last night's loss

A healthy temperature for a reason. Lost by 5 last night. Hard to shake that off immediately. Pair that with 2-5 in their last 7. Not the week they wanted.

Dodgers News

After a disappointing 8-4 loss to the Red Sox, the Dodgers' recent struggles continued to haunt them, leaving them with a grim 2-5 record in their last seven games and a concerning run differential of -10. In a bid to salvage the season, the front office made some strategic moves at the trade deadline, re-acquiring catchers Hunter Feduccia and Ben Rortvedt to bolster their depth behind the plate while waiting on Will Smith's return. They also added two-time Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal to the rotation, signaling a commitment to improve a pitching staff that has been shaky lately. With the Cubs coming to town next, the Dodgers need to turn the tide quickly, especially as they cling to their division lead. If they don’t, the heat will only intensify in L.A.
