9th inning collapse leads to fourth straight Dodgers loss
In what’s becoming a reoccurring theme, the Dodgers bullpen blew yet another lead that ultimately cost them the game.
Clayton Kershaw gave us his best performance of the year, but it was all for not. Scott Alexander entered the ninth with a one-run cushion and left with a three-run deficit.
On national left-handers day, two of the more prolific left-handed pitchers in the game squared off. For Clayton Kershaw and Madison Bumgarner, it was the 11th career time they faced each other.
As expected, it was a classic pitchers duel early on. Through the first three-and-a-half innings the score remained at zero.
