They have been held to two runs or fewer in seven of those past 11 games.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just think it\u2019s a rough stretch for us,\u201d said third baseman Max Muncy, who had half of the Dodgers\u2019 hits on Sunday and drove in all of their runs. \u201cObviously, we are facing tough pitching, and they\u2019re making pitches, but I think for us as a group, we\u2019re just going through a rough stretch. That\u2019s part of baseball. We had some guys hit some balls hard, and we had some guys hitting the ball soft, and none of them seem to fall. It\u2019s just kind of how the game goes sometimes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Dodgers hope to get some help from a .179 hitter \u2013 shortstop Mookie Betts. Betts was off to his own slow start before he went on the injured list with a strained oblique muscle. He is expected to come off the IL on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019ll be kind of a shot in the arm to have Mookie back,\u201d Roberts said after Sunday\u2019s loss. \u201cI know he\u2019s excited. Just to kind of add a star player into your lineup lengthens things out. He comes in fresh, excited to be back. Hopefully, he can infuse some energy into this club.\u201d<\/p> <div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Dodgers\u2019 biggest star has been missing in action. Shohei Ohtani was 0 for 4 on Sunday and has just four hits in his past 33 at-bats (.121) and only one home run in his past 106 plate appearances.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think he\u2019s getting beat on some fastballs,\u201d Roberts said when asked to diagnose Ohtani\u2019s slump. \u201cBalls at the belt line that he usually hits to the big part of the field, he\u2019s a little late, underneath a little bit which just speaks to being late. I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s a mechanical thing with Shohei. But there\u2019s a lot of pop-ups, fly balls to the left fielder where, when he\u2019s right, those are doubles and homers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen he\u2019s not slugging, you can tell he\u2019s not right because typically when he\u2019s moving it forward it\u2019s for slug. But he\u2019s just not synced up right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s no coincidence that the Dodgers\u2019 offense isn\u2019t either. Though Ohtani is hardly the only one in the Dodgers\u2019 lineup underperforming, he is the only one with four MVPs.<\/p> <div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s kind of his burden in the sense of the expectations for him,\u201d Roberts said. \u201cIf you look at the overall stat line, it\u2019s okay (a .241 batting average and .792 OPS) but relative to who he is and what he\u2019s done it\u2019s certainly south of that. It certainly helps when he\u2019s doing what he\u2019s been doing for quite some time. The energy frees other guys up. But there are still eight other guys that are more than capable. And I think you could argue there\u2019s a lot of guys below where they will be. But when you\u2019ve got a guy like Shohei or Freddie, guys feed off guys like that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For now, they\u2019re going hungry. They were shut out into the ninth inning Saturday, the eighth inning on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think everyone\u2019s trying to do a little bit more right now,\u201d Muncy said. \u201cWe all know as a group that we\u2019re struggling. That\u2019s just something that everyone\u2019s trying to take on their own shoulder, instead of just passing the baton, myself included. Once we get back to everyone just having really good team at-bats, I think things will start clicking for guys, without even thinking about it. Just a rough stretch, and we got to get through it.\u201d<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=4215\">Lakers prep for Game 4 on verge of playoff elimination<\/a><\/p>\n<p>After beating Chris Sale on Friday night, the Dodgers\u2019 own starting pitching put them in a hole early in back-to-back losses.<\/p>\n<p>Blake Snell made his season debut on Saturday and gave up five runs in the first two innings. On Sunday, Justin Wrobleski was complicit in his own downfall during a four-run second inning that put the Dodgers behind to stay.<\/p>\n<p>Wrobleski gave up one run on three consecutive singles with one out in the second inning. He was handed a way out when Sean Murphy bounced a ball right back to Wrobleski. But Wrobleski\u2019s throw to Alex Freeland at second base was high, pulling Freeland off the bag. He was lucky to get his foot back down in time to get the force out. But the inning-ending double play that it should have been disappeared.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was going up the mound (to make the throw to second base), so when you\u2019re going up the mound like that you got to really stay on top of it,\u201d Wrobleski said. \u201cIt just went up high on me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With the inning extended, Wrobleski walked the No. 9 hitter, Jorge Mateo, to load the bases, then Mauricio Dubon doubled down the third-base line, driving in three runs.<\/p>\n<p>Wrobleski retired the next 16 Braves in order before giving up a solo home run to Drake Baldwin in the eighth and another to Matt Olson in the ninth inning.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s just, for me, one half-inning of being pissed off about it, and then you gotta keep going back out there and doing your thing,\u201d Wrobleski said. \u201cIt\u2019s frustrating. It\u2019s annoying because now I look back at it and yeah, that\u2019s what cost me from having a good outing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Down big early two games in a row, the Dodgers offered little resistance either time. They had just one hit and struck out eight times in six innings against Spencer Strider on Saturday and didn\u2019t score until the ninth inning. They didn\u2019t fare any better against Sunday\u2019s starter, Bryce Elder, in a remarkably similar game.<\/p>\n<p>The Dodgers put two runners on with two outs in the first inning but Muncy struck out, starting a stretch of 15 Dodgers retired in order by Elder who allowed just one hit and struck out eight in 5\u2154 innings.<\/p>\n<p>The Dodgers\u2019 next baserunner didn\u2019t come until Elder walked the bases loaded with two outs in the sixth inning. Handed a chance to get back into the game with one swing, Muncy made that swing, driving a ball to the wall in right field off reliever Robert Suarez. But Braves right fielder Eli White caught Muncy\u2019s line drive, crashing into the wall as he did.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2018Who do I gotta pay off at this point?\u2019\u201d Muncy said of his thoughts as White robbed him of extra bases. \u201cI don\u2019t know. I mean, next at-bat, I went up there and just said, \u2018I\u2019m gonna swing straight up. If I get it in the air, they can\u2019t catch it.\u2019 And it kind of worked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had a lot of really good swings (in the series), just nothing to really show for it. And that\u2019s just baseball.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The next pitch Muncy saw was a hanging slider from Braves reliever Tyler Kinley in the eighth and he drove it beyond the right fielder\u2019s range for a two-run home run this time and the Dodgers\u2019 only runs of the game.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=4214\">Ducks power up, beat Golden Knights in Game 4 to even series<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Justin Wrobleski gives up four runs in the second inning and the Dodgers\u2019 offense can\u2019t overcome it in a 7-2 defeat.
