After weeks of worrisome late-game blunders, there finally was redemption for the Dodgers bullpen Tuesday night. On a night their starting pitcher failed to complete five innings, and their lineup managed only one run before the final couple of frames, it was five other numbers that keyed a 4-1 Dodgers win over Washington at Nationals Park. 0. 0. 0. 0. 0. As in, the five goose eggs the Dodgers' once-struggling bullpen put on the scoreboard. “The bullpen,” manager Dave Roberts said, “was really...
Shohei Ohtani pulled even with a boyhood idol with a milestone home run in the first inning and added doubles in the fifth and seventh innings Friday night, but the Dodgers’ hottest hitter was left holding the bat in the on-deck circle during the final out of an 8-7, 11-inning loss to the San Diego Padres at Dodger Stadium. Ohtani sparked an early assault on Padres starter Michael King with a first-inning solo home run to left-center field that gave him 175 career homers, tying former New York...
Ezequiel Tovar and Ryan McMahon each hit an RBI single in the bottom of the 10th inning to lift the Colorado Rockies over the Seattle Mariners 2-1 in the first game of a doubleheader Sunday. The victory snapped a season-worst six-game losing streak for the Rockies (5-16), who entered the day with the worst record in the National League and the worst 20-game start in franchise history. “As tough as it has been these first 21 games, there’s a pretty good resiliency to the group,” Colorado...
On a day with exasperating pitching, extreme wildness, and an almost comical aversion to cashing in run-scoring opportunities, the Dodgers dropped their third game in a row, 6-4 to the Mets in what might be the most frustrating loss in a growing string of them. On offense the Dodgers could capitalize, on the mound they couldn’t get clean innings, and any time they seemed to get themselves back into the game, the Mets would respond. That’s how it’s gone lately for the Dodgers, who have lost seven...
Jackson Merrill provided the go-ahead single in the 11th inning, Fernando Tatis Jr. homered and had three hits, and the San Diego Padres rallied for a 8-7 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers Friday night despite Shohei Ohtani hitting his 175th home run in the majors to tie Hideki Matsui for the most by a Japanese-born player. Tatis Jr. hit a two-run shot in the seventh inning to tie it at 7-all. Manny Machado, Ha-Seong Kim and Jake Cronenworth also went deep for the Padres, who trailed 7-3 after...

Chris Taylor breaks out of his slump with a two-run, game-tying single in the sixth inning, but the Mets score five times in the final three innings to hand the Dodgers their sixth loss in the past eight games, 9-4.
Their top two relievers had pitched the two previous nights, so the Dodgers had little choice but to turn to J.P. Feyereisen, a 31-year-old journeyman trying to work his way back from shoulder surgery, in the seventh inning with the score tied against the San Diego Padres on Sunday. A walk, a single, a walk, and a Jurickson Profar three-run double later, the Padres were on their way to a 6-3 victory. If Brusdar Graterol or Blake Treinen was available, manager Dave Roberts could have turned to...
Brent Rooker hit an RBI double to drive in the go-ahead run in extra innings as the visiting Oakland Athletics rallied past the Baltimore Orioles 3-2 in 10 innings on Friday to open a three-game series. Rooker finished 2-for-4 with two doubles, an RBI and a run scored. Shea Langeliers hit a home run and Lawrence Butler added a double for Oakland. Mason Miller pitched a perfect 10th inning and struck out Gunnar Henderson with the tying run on third to secure his seventh save of the season and...
