(AP Photo\/Wally Skalij)<\/p>\n<p>Expand<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>LOS ANGELES \u2014 Like some magic solvent, the Dodgers\u2019 lineup is taking starting pitchers with 5.00 ERAs and making them look shiny and new again.<\/p>\n<p>For the fourth time in their past eight games, the Dodgers faced a starting pitcher who began the game with an ERA in that unsightly numerical neighborhood. And for the fourth time in those starts, the Dodgers\u2019 offense could do nothing.<\/p>\n<p>Left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez had a 5.67 ERA through 23 starts for the Arizona Diamondbacks this season. In the 24th, he held the Dodgers scoreless on four hits for six innings as the Diamondbacks beat the Dodgers, 6-1, on Saturday night.<\/p>\n<p>The second-place San Diego Padres won their game in Minnesota handily on Saturday, so the Dodgers\u2019 lead in the National League West is back down to one game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve come out pretty flat the last two games after the day off. We can\u2019t keep doing this. We have to be more consistent,\u201d utility man\u00a0Kik\u00e9 Hernandez said of the two-game losing streak that has followed a four-game winning streak.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe haven\u2019t been very good the last two games.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The four pitchers that have shut them down in the past eight games have not been very good for much of this season. Rodriguez joins Yu Darvish and Nestor Cortes (in San Diego last weekend) and teammate Zac Gallen Friday night as 5.00-ERA starters who sandbagged the Dodgers. That quartet allowed one run on eight hits in 24 innings against the Dodgers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t (explain that),\u201d Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. \u201cEvery day, I write the lineup down and I feel good about the guys that we\u2019re running out there. It comes to having a plan. And when you have an opportunity to take good at-bats, you gotta do your job.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe pitchers that we faced, that you referenced, haven\u2019t been having good years. Any given night, any pitcher can throw out a good one. You can only tip your cap so many times. I still feel like our guys are better, but all that matters is how you perform. And against those guys, they got the best of us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Dodgers did have scoring opportunities against Rodriguez but were guilty of \u201ca lot of things that I\u2019m not going to get into, that just lends itself to really uncharacteristic lack of focus,\u201d Roberts said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose guys earned the win,\u201d Roberts said. \u201cBut I can also say, in some parts, we gave it away. We beat ourselves. This is a tough one. I just really can\u2019t excuse it or rationalize it, I guess.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Two of those mistakes came on the bases.<\/p>\n<p>Freddie Freeman led off the fourth with a double but ran into a fielder\u2019s choice on Andy Pages\u2019 ground ball to third base.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat was something that\u2019s obviously for him, very uncharacteristic,\u201d Roberts said. \u201cAnd it just kind of happens, where a lot of these things happen in one night. But he\u2019s as good a baserunner as I\u2019ve been around. It\u2019s just unfortunate that one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the fifth, Kik\u00e9 Hernandez led off with a single, moved to third on a double by Miguel Rojas and tried to score on Shohei Ohtani\u2019s fly ball to left field.<\/p>\n<p>Diamondbacks left fielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. made a strong throw, but wide of home plate. Catcher Gabriel Moreno went into foul territory to catch it and reached back to tag Hernandez as he lunged for home plate. Hernandez\u2019s decision not to slide might have been costly. Moreno made the tag just as Hernandez reached the plate and was ruled out. A replay review upheld the call.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFly ball to left field. Tag situation. I tagged and went home,\u201d Hernandez said. \u201cThe throw took the catcher towards where Mookie was, telling me to slide. I didn\u2019t see Mookie (Betts). I didn\u2019t slide and I was out. I thought I was safe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel like that play could have changed the momentum of the game. It didn\u2019t go our way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As the on-deck hitter, it is Betts\u2019 responsibility to get in the runner\u2019s line of sight and signal whether he should slide or not and which direction to avoid the tag. Betts was well to the left of home plate, not in Hernandez\u2019s direct line of sight.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cObviously, Gurriel makes a really good throw, good play, and he couldn\u2019t see Mookie to say to slide,\u201d Roberts said. \u201cYou can kind of talk about the mechanics, but we just didn\u2019t execute a play.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t those mechanics require Betts to be behind home plate in the runner\u2019s line of sight, not off to the side?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know what? Ideally, you gotta be in a better lane for the runner to see you, and he just didn\u2019t get there in time,\u201d Roberts acknowledged.<\/p>\n<p>The Dodgers had another chance to change the momentum with the game still scoreless in the sixth. Will Smith and Freeman drew back-to-back walks to start the inning. But Teoscar Hernandez struck out and Pages hit into a double play, making the Dodgers 0 for 6 with runners in scoring position.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, Tyler Glasnow was having the best start of his injury-interrupted season.<\/p>\n<p>Glasnow took a perfect game into the fourth inning and a no-hitter into the sixth (thanks to an overturned call at first base in the fourth inning).<\/p>\n<p>As well as he pitched for six innings, the Dodgers gave him no margin for error.<\/p>\n<p>Corbin Carroll started the seventh inning by taking a slider down and in and lifting it over the wall in right field. Gurriel followed with a sinking line drive that Pages dove for in center field but couldn\u2019t corral. That went for a double.<\/p>\n<p>Gurriel held up on a drive by Blaze Alexander that Teoscar Hernandez couldn\u2019t get to at the wall in right field, putting runners at second and third.<\/p>\n<p>The Dodgers couldn\u2019t score one run on Ohtani\u2019s potential sacrifice fly in the fifth \u2013 but the Diamondbacks scored two on one in the seventh.<\/p>\n<p>Gurriel tagged up and scored on Moreno\u2019s flyout to center field. Alexander tagged at second, went to third and then home when Pages\u2019 throw got away.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll my pitches were working early,\u201d Glasnow said. \u201cThat last inning, I just (made) too many hittable pitches. Nothing was really sharp, and they took advantage of it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m pretty frustrated with that last inning for myself. I know our team will come back and play better. I\u2019m just frustrated right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Down 3-0, the Dodgers finally ended a 15-inning scoreless streak against a Diamondbacks team that ranks 24th in MLB in team ERA (4.49 entering Saturday) on Betts\u2019 two-out RBI single in the bottom of the seventh.<\/p>\n<p>But Vargas\u2019 three-run home run off Kirby Yates in the ninth put the game away for the Diamondbacks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am (surprised),\u201d Roberts said when asked about his team\u2019s apparent inability to maintain a consistent level of focus while in a division race.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know that the guys understand where we\u2019re at as far as the opportunity we have. And yeah, I would expect them to take it and run and seize the opportunity, without me having to kind of bring it to light. I mean, it\u2019s right there. This is a great opportunity that we have, and you got to embrace it. You got to want to be out there. You got to have fun competing. And it just seems like the last couple nights, at some points it was an unrecognizable ballclub. We still got a lot of talent. We\u2019re still in a decent spot, but we\u2019ve got to go play. We got to play better. We do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Originally Published: <time datetime=\"2025-08-30 22:13:20\">August 30, 2025 at 10:13 PM PDT<\/time><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eduardo Rodriguez holds the Dodgers to four hits over six scoreless innings.
