Everything is a struggle for the Dodgers right now. Even when they get another outstanding effort from Clayton Kershaw and an assist in the scoring department from the opposing pitcher.
That’s how a team rolls up a season-high, five-game losing streak. How it’s left with heads bowed and plenty of questions for a first-place team.
The Dodgers took a 2-1 lead into the bottom off the ninth and still could not get it done Sunday, Kenley Jansen blowing a save for only the second time this season.
Into the 10th it went, when Chris Hatcher gave up a walk-off solo homer to Jason Castro to complete Houston’s 3-2 comeback win at Minute Maid Park.
