Nothing has come easy for the Dodgers this year. They made it harder on themselves when, for the fourth straight night, the bullpen couldn’t get the job done Monday.
Scott Alexander coughed up four runs for the Dodgers for the team’s 22nd blown wave of the year. That ranks third in all of baseball behind San Francisco (25) and Colorado (23).
Forget that it was a loss to the Giants, even though those seem to sting a little more no matter where each team is in the standings.
It goes without saying you can't waste a Clayton Kershaw start that saw him hold the opposition to one run on four hits over eight innings, striking out nine with no walks for the 31st time in his career.
