The Los Angeles Dodgers lost to the Los Angeles Angels, 6-5, on Wednesday evening and were swept by the Halos for the second time this season in brutal fashion. The Dodgers fell to 68-53 on the year, lost their seventh consecutive game in a row to the Angels, and are now in second place in the National League West division for the first time since April 28.
The Dodgers play the now-first-place San Diego Padres six times over the next 11 days in a stretch that will have major October implications.
Ahead of the eventual defeat, All-Star third baseman Max Muncy was scratched from the lineup. Manager Dave Roberts revealed that Muncy is dealing with pain in his right side that occurred while in the batting cage before the game.
Finally, the Dodgers are linked to an All-Star reliever from the New York Yankees. After an abysmal ERA across 49 appearances, the Dodgers could look to help him reclaim his value next season.
