DODGERS POSTCAST: Dodgers lose to the Giants 4-1 as Matos robs a homer from Teoscar Hernandez

Dakota Hudson who was 1-7 coming for the Rockies had the Dodgers off balance all night going 7 allowing just 1 run on 4 hits for his 2nd win. Walker Buehler was a little off and struggled with location but did strikeout 7 in his 3rd loss. He surrendered 4 runs on 6 hits while walking 4. The Dodgers had a nice rally going in the 8th loading the bases with nobody out but Mookie Betts hit into a 6-4-3 double play and then Freddie Freeman struck out to end the threat.

The Los Angeles Dodgers completed their sweep of the Mets in New York after an offensive explosion in the eighth inning broke a 3-3 tie. Will Smith homered twice, Shohei Ohtani had an RBI single and a two-run homer, and Miguel Rojas and Miguel Vargas both made huge contributions to the offense. Oh, and Jason Heyward added a homer to his triple while I was typing that last sentence, so I guess he had a good day off the bench, too. James Paxton was pulled after three innings, a decision that looked bad when Elieser Hernandez came in and did Elieser Hernandez things to blow a 3-0 lead.

The Dodgers lead New York 3-0 but the Mets scratched their way back and tied the game at 3. Will Smith lead off the 8th inning with his 2nd home run of the game, his 9th of the season. Shohei Ohtani would also homer in the 8th for his 14th of the season. Miguel Rojas had a nice day at plate going 4 for 5 and Kike Hernandez also added a pair of hits. James Paxton was limited to 50 pitches but looked good allowing just 2 hits

The Los Angeles Dodgers swept the Mets in a doubleheader on Tuesday, scoring five unanswered runs in the late innings of game one and then shutting out New York in the nightcap. Tyler Glasnow and Gavin Stone both had dominant starts, the bullpen was excellent, and a host of Dodgers hitters (including a resurgent Freddie Freeman) provided the offense. We'll talk about squeeze bunts, big hits, and great pitching!Be sure to subscribe to Locked On Dodgers wherever you get your podcasts and on YouTube, and come back every weekday morning and spend your morning commute with two of the biggest Dodger fans you'll ever meet.

The Dodgers need 10 innings to come from behind and win the opener on a Freddie Freeman HR his 6th. In the nightcap Gavin Stone was dealing allowing just hits over 7 while striking out a career high 7. Freddie Freeman added 2 more hits and Will Smith and Miguel Vargas went deep in a 3-0 win.

The Los Angeles Dodgers were rained out on Monday, but Angel Hernandez finally did something right and retired so we have a TON to talk about.

The Los Angeles Dodgers were lousy on both sides of the ball this weekend in Cincinnati as LA got swept by the lowly Reds to bring their losing streak to five games. Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman were responsible for LA's only run on Sunday, but overall they've struggled mightily the past several games. The pitching wasn't much better, culminating in an emotional moment on the mound between manager Dave Roberts and embattled reliever Yohan Ramirez. We'll dig into all of this and look ahead to the upcoming series with the similarly struggling Mets.Be sure to subscribe to Locked On Dodgers wherever you get your podcasts and on YouTube, and come back every weekday morning and spend your morning commute with two of the biggest Dodger fans you'll ever meet.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto gave up 4 runs with 2 outs in the 3rd and that would be more than enough for the Reds to complete the sweep. The loan bright spot for the Dodgers at the plate was Teoscar Hernandez with 2 doubles. Dodgers are 1 for their last 25 with RISP.The Dodgers 5 game losing streak is their longest losing streak in 5 years.

After giving up two walks in the first James Paxton surrendered a three-run home run to Spencer Steer. The Dodgers would answer back with four in the top of the second. Will Smith would hit his 6th homer of the season in the 5th to give the Dodgers a 5-3 lead. But the Dodgers bullpen was not up to the task of holding the lead, as Yohan Hernandez walked the bases loaded and Alex Vesia gave up a grand slam to Jonathon India leading the Reds past the Dodgers 9-6.
