Dave Roberts decries Dodgers’ inability to play ‘clean baseball’ after latest costly loss to Brewers
Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts criticized his team's failure to play "clean baseball" following a 6-2 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday, which jeopardized their chances of securing home-field advantage. Roberts attributed the team's struggles to their lack of consistent offensive production over the past few weeks, with three of their past four games resulting in below-average performance.
He emphasized the need for a focused approach, stating that the Dodgers failed to execute effective at-bats, such as not chasing pitches or taking walks. Even star player Shohei Ohtani faltered, grounding into a double play with runners on base. The team's defensive lapses, like second baseman Tommy Edman's two errors, further compounded their woes.
Despite holding a seven-game lead in the NL West, Roberts pleaded for his team to refocus and work hard to overcome this challenging period.
