last night's loss

More good than bad right now. A 3-run loss last night is the biggest weight on the score. Counterbalancing that, +10 run differential. That margin shows up in the score.

Dodgers News

The Los Angeles Dodgers stumbled against the Colorado Rockies yesterday, falling 4-3, but still boast a solid 15-5 record, keeping them firmly in first place in the division. With an impressive run differential of +16 over the past week and a stingy 2.3 runs allowed per game, the pitching staff continues to shine. In an unexpected twist, the absence of Freddie Freeman, who was placed on the paternity list, has allowed 28-year-old Ryan Ward to step up and make an impact in his major league debut, notching two hits and an RBI. Adding to the buzz, country star Brad Paisley revealed his surprising role in the recent Tyler Glasnow trade, proving once again that even entertainment and baseball can mix. As the Dodgers gear up for another matchup against Colorado, there’s plenty of optimism in the air, despite the recent loss.
