On Wednesday, the Los Angeles Dodgers suffered another crushing defeat. The reigning World Series champions lost 6-5 to the Los Angeles Angels and ended up getting swept in the 3-game series against their city rivals.

The Dodgers have been on a downfall in recent months. Following a strong start to the campaign, the team has suffered a skid in form and dropped several games.

After losing 7-4 on Monday, the Dodgers lost the Freeway season series for the first time since 2019. A day later, the Angels mounted a late comeback and walked off in the 10th inning as 7-6 winners.

Wednesday’s action saw Shohei Ohtani take to the mound for the first time as a pitcher against the Angels. While he had an impressive showing against Mike Trout (whom he struck out twice), he ended up giving up 4 runs in 4.1 innings.

The highlight moment from this game came in the bottom of the 8th inning. With the bases loaded and two outs, Logan O’Hoope managed to lift the ball in the center field for a base hit. This allowed the Angels to drive in 2 runs and take a 6-5 lead.

The Dodgers were unable to respond in the 9th inning and ultimately came up on the losing end. This turned out to be their 4th consecutive loss, leaving them with a 68-53 record.

The defeat on Wednesday also means that the Dodgers have been swept by the Angels again this year. Dating back to last season, the Dodgers have now lost 7 successive games against the Angels.
