<\/p>\n
Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Tanner Scott got battered in a team loss on Monday to the New York Mets. Scott allowed two 10th inning runs to score, in a game New York won 4-3. Scott had a simple explanation for his rocky outing.<\/p>\n
\u201cI’m just not hitting my locations,\u201d Scott said per ESPN, \u201cand it’s costing us.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Scott signed a major free-agent deal with the Dodgers before this season. The reliever, who usually acts as closer, has not had smooth sailing though in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n In his last seven appearances, Scott has gotten charged with 10 earned runs. He has taken two losses in that stretch, while also blowing two save opportunities. His four-seam fastball has not been as effective at getting strikeouts.<\/p>\n \u201cIt’s getting hit a lot,\u201d Scott said. \u201cIt sucks right now. Last year I relied on it a lot, and this year it’s getting hit and I’m missing locations.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n The Dodgers are now 36-24 after losing to the Mets.<\/p>\n Scott had a great season last year in San Diego and Miami. Last season, he posted a 2.73 ERA with eight saves for the Padres. Before that, he had a 1.18 ERA for the Marlins.<\/p>\n Expectations were high when he joined the Dodgers, but this season Scott is heading in a different direction. His ERA is much worse than last year, and currently sits at 4.73. He has allowed six runs in his last three outings alone.<\/p>\n Dodgers manager Dave Roberts has implied he needs more from Scott, without directly stating it.<\/p>\n \u201cYou have to give credit to Jack (Dreyer) and Ben (Casparius), but it’s the other guys’ responsibilities as well who’ve been through the trials and have a lot more experience than those two players,\u201d Roberts said about his team’s bullpen. \u201cI just don’t think it’s right to put everything on those two young players. I don’t.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n The Dodgers and Mets play again on Tuesday. Los Angeles has lost two in a row.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Tanner Scott is giving his explanation for why he struggled Monday against the New York Mets.
