The Los Angeles Dodgers have experienced many ups and downs this season, most recently blowing a five-run lead to the Padres on Tuesday. San Diego’s Donovan Solano hit a walk-off RBI to defeat the Dodgers 6-5 at Petco Park. The loss against the Padres was the fifth in the Dodgers’ last seven games.
Injuries have also been a major issue for Los Angeles this season. Three-time All-Star Mookie Betts and Max Muncy are key position players who are currently sidelined.
Dodgers starting pitchers have been the main victims of injuries this season. Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Walker Buehler have been absent from the mound.
