The Dodgers blew another chance at a win. They had several missed opportunities while batting. They didn’t lose any ground in the standings when they lost at the Nationals, which is a very sorry team. Every road game in that series seemed like they were blown chances.
They only were 1-for-11 with runners in scoring position in that game. In the four game series, the Dodgers were 5-for-50 with runners in scoring position. The Diamondbacks appear to be in control of the division but anything can happen. The Dodgers are three games back in a division and it seems as if nobody wants to win. “I look at it as missed opportunities,” said manager Joe Torre. “Sure, we could be farther behind, but we could be ahead, also.”
The Dodgers have lost eight straight road games. This was the ninth of the last 11 that they lost. It should have been motivation when earlier in the day they watched rival Arizona lose its fourth game in a row and fifth out of six. In other words the Dodgers have a reason to keep their head up. They have only lost one game in the standings despite having a 0-6 road trip. Well Los Angeles Dodgers merchandise will be seen all over Dodger Stadium when they get back home because they now have a chance of winning the division.
