Dodgers Drop Four Straight by 4 or More Runs in First Such Skid Since 1936

The rare slide points to a cold May offense with shaky work from the pitching staff.

Overview

  • The 6-2 loss to the Giants on Tuesday pushed Los Angeles to four straight defeats, each by at least four runs.
  • After a 3-1 win in Atlanta, the Dodgers fell 7-2 twice to the Braves, then 9-3 to San Francisco before the latest 6-2 setback, with the bullpen unraveling in the 9-3 game and even Yoshinobu Yamamoto hit hard in the most recent loss.
  • Since May began, Los Angeles has scored 41 runs, owns one hit in 10 bases-loaded chances, and has 10 homers with none in 25 high‑leverage at‑bats.
  • Shohei Ohtani homered in Tuesday’s game and is scheduled to start the series finale on Wednesday against the Giants.
  • MLB’s Sarah Langs says the stretch ties the franchise’s single‑season record for such losses, and MLB.com’s Sonja Chen notes every other MLB club has had at least four similar streaks since 1936.
