Dodgers Shut Out Twice by Diamondbacks Amid Offensive Struggles

The Los Angeles Dodgers have struggled offensively in recent games against the Arizona Diamondbacks, suffering multiple losses despite strong pitching performances. Tyler Glasnow, despite not securing a win in his last 14 starts, pitched effectively in a recent game, taking a no-hitter into the sixth inning before a late rally by the Diamondbacks led to a 6-1 loss, compounded by sloppy baserunning and defensive errors. The Dodgers’ offense has been lackluster, managing only a few hits and demonstrating poor baserunning decisions, which has frustrated fans and contributed to their scoring difficulties. In another game, the Dodgers were shut out 3-0 by Diamondbacks starter Zac Gallen, who, despite a high ERA, dominated the Dodgers’ lineup, which appeared flat and tentative at the plate. Manager Dave Roberts acknowledged the team’s offensive struggles and the need for better focus and execution, especially as the division race tightens with October approaching. Overall, the Dodgers’ potent lineup has been inconsistent, undermining their efforts in critical games against divisional rivals.
