The Los Angeles Dodgers’ 2018 season reached a new low on Sunday afternoon when they were defeated 5-3 by the Cincinnati Reds, completing a four-game sweep at Dodger Stadium.
The Reds have the worst record in the National League even after the sweep, but now they only have two fewer wins than the Dodgers, who are 16-24 and eight games out of first place in the National League West.
With only 16 wins, this is the Dodgers’ worst 40 game start to a season since 1958. That of course was their inaugural season in Los Angeles.
While their record may not suggest as much, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts feels his team is not a poor one and that they are capable of turning it around, via Bill Shaikin of the L.
