<\/p>\nLos Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts broke down his team’s loss to the Cleveland Guardians in their series finale on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Los Angeles Dodgers entered the bottom of the eight inning with a 4-2 lead over the Cleveland Guardians.<\/p>\n
However, Clayton Kershaw’s third outing of 2025 didn’t end in a Dodgers win.<\/p>\n
Los Angeles’ manager, Dave Roberts, looked on as Tanner Scott gave up the lead on an RBI single. He then watched as Angel Martinez hit a three-run home run off of Alex Vesia one batter later.<\/p>\n
The loss in the series finale robbed the Dodgers of a sweep of the Guardians. Roberts felt like his team did everything they needed to do to win, but fell apart late, according to SportsNet LA.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt’s sour in the sense of, you know, you win the first two and you catch a lead going into the eighth inning,\u201d Roberts said about the sting of the loss. \u201cI thought we did enough to win, but unfortunately that eighth inning got away from us.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n A series sweep against Cleveland would have given them a three-game winning streak heading into a series against the New York Yankees at home. Regardless of how Wednesday’s game ended, the Dodgers did win a series against one of the American League’s best clubs.<\/p>\n Scott’s struggles at the end of the game adds to concerns\u00a0that Los Angeles fans have about their closer. The 30-year-old already has five blown saves on the year, two away from tying his career-high.<\/p>\n The loss to Cleveland shrinks the Dodgers’ lead in the National League West down to two games<\/p>\n . The San Diego Padres could not make up ground on Wednesday, losing 10-8 to the Miami Marlins.<\/p>\n Despite that, the division is still a tight race between Los Angeles, San Diego, and the San Francisco Giants.<\/p>\n Roberts and the Dodgers walk away from Wednesday’s game disappointed.<\/p>\n However, the defending champions have shown resolve all year and need to be focused heading into their first game against the Yankees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts broke down his team’s loss to the Cleveland Guardians in their series finale on Wednesday.
