LOS ANGELES -- Nothing will make a team look worse than when it isn’t hitting. Except maybe when the pitching staff struggles to get outs. The Dodgers are caught in a vortex of both extremes right now, and the results have been putrid. They try to climb out from under the rubble on Friday night against the Rockies.
The Dodgers have scored three runs in their last four games, the streak of four straight games with no more than one run tied for the fifth-longest since moving to Los Angeles in 1958.
