Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski Pitches Six Scoreless Innings in Series-Clinch Win Over Royals

Justin Wrobleski has emerged as a key bulk reliever for the Los Angeles Dodgers, delivering six scoreless innings against the Kansas City Royals in a 5-1 victory that clinched the series. Following an opener, Wrobleski allowed just three hits and one walk while striking out six, improving his season record to 4-2 with a 4.08 ERA after a strong midseason turnaround. His effective fastball generated the majority of his strikeouts, and his consistent performances over the past month have made him a reliable pitching option, especially in bulk relief roles. The Dodgers' offense supported Wrobleski with home runs from Kiké Hernández and Will Smith, along with key RBIs from Max Muncy and Miguel Rojas. This win marked the Dodgers' sixth consecutive series victory and capped a successful 5-1 road trip. Wrobleski’s rise from a difficult start this season has been notable, as he has now become an important part of the Dodgers’ pitching staff.
