The Los Angeles Dodgers had an up and down month of July, as they continued to navigate their World Series title defense.
The team went 14-12 (.538), their worst month by winning percentage on the year so far. The team came into the month riding a nine-game winning streak and started July 4-0, but would only go 10-12 the rest of the month and lose ground in the NL West, dropping to three games out of first.
