LOS ANGELES -- Different night, roughly 2,429 miles away, but the story was the same for the Dodgers, who watched a big inning end the competitive phase of a baseball game. On Monday, five-run sixth inning proved the Dodgers' undoing in an 8-3 loss to the Nationals on Monday night at Dodger Stadium.
The Dodgers lost their fourth straight game, their longest losing streak since Sept. 13-16, 2013.
But what was frustrating about this loss was the repetition of the pattern. On Monday, Brett Anderson was the pitcher hung out to dry on the mound.
