Slumping Dodgers refuse to press panic button
Los Angeles ended its skid Saturday in a tight 2-1 victory before falling 4-2 to the Diamondbacks to close out a 1-5 trip Sunday. The Dodgers are 11-17 since July 5.
The Los Angeles Dodgers are currently experiencing one of their worst stretches of the season, but star player Matt Wieters remains unperturbed. The team recently returned home after a three-game series in which they were swept by the Boston Red Sox. Their losing streak began in Chicago, where they lost to the Cubs, and reached a season-high seven-game duration in Phoenix against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
However, the Dodgers managed to end their skid with a narrow 2-1 victory on Saturday before suffering a 4-2 defeat to the Diamondbacks on Sunday, resulting in a 1-5 record for the trip. With their current subscription plan, readers are able to comment on stories, but Wieters emphasizes there should be no reason for panic as the team prepares to face the Kansas City Royals at home on Monday.
