last night's win

The foundation feels stable. Took last night by 3. That matters. Working against that, the -11 run differential tells a worse story than the record.

Dodgers News

The Dodgers snapped a rough skid with a 5-2 victory over the Giants, fueled by Will Smith's leadoff homer and Alex Call's clutch pinch-hit single, showing that even without Mookie Betts and Shohei Ohtani, the lineup can still rally. Andrew Friedman is sticking to his guns with Roki Sasaki, emphasizing patience as he remains in the rotation despite growing fan impatience. Meanwhile, Dave Roberts’ decision to keep Hyeseong Kim over Alex Freeland has found some support among fans, illustrating the ongoing adjustments the team is making. With a 24-17 record and a recent 3-4 stretch, the Dodgers need to find a consistent rhythm if they hope to reclaim their divisional lead. The addition of Jason Heyward as a special assistant signals a commitment to strengthening the clubhouse presence, which could be key during this tumultuous stretch.
