Dodgers Lose No-Hitter, Drop Fourth Straight Game to Orioles

The Los Angeles Dodgers suffered a heartbreaking loss to the Baltimore Orioles after Yoshinobu Yamamoto took a no-hitter into the ninth inning before Jackson Holliday broke it with a two-out home run. Following Yamamoto's removal, the Dodgers' bullpen faltered as Blake Treinen and Tanner Scott allowed multiple runners to score, culminating in a walk-off hit by Emmanuel Rivera. Closer Tanner Scott, carrying a $72 million contract, has struggled significantly, conceding 10 earned runs over his last nine innings and expressing frustration, saying baseball "hates me right now." The Dodgers, defending World Series champions, are in a playoff race but have now lost four straight games, all by narrow margins, and have been shut out in 25 of their last 27 innings, highlighting offensive struggles. Despite the shaky bullpen, starter Shohei Ohtani pitched well, but the team's inconsistent performance has raised concerns as they face a tough schedule ahead and pressure from the San Diego Padres in the NL West. The clubhouse mood is somber as players acknowledge the need for urgent improvement to maintain their postseason hopes.
