Overview
- The Dodgers fell 7-2 to St. Louis, their third straight loss as the lineup managed only two runs on five hits.
- The game extended Los Angeles’ home-run drought to four straight, the team’s longest since June 2023.
- They finished 0-for-6 with runners in scoring position and left eight on base, with Shohei Ohtani going 0-for-5 and Freddie Freeman the only player with two hits.
- Starter Emmet Sheehan gave up four runs in 4 2/3 innings with season-low fastball velocity, balked in a run, and allowed homers to Nolan Gorman and Alex Burleson while striking out eight.
- Los Angeles still holds a 0.5-game NL West lead, with Roki Sasaki set to start next and Blake Snell nearing a return that could prompt rotation changes.
