Dodgers Swept by Braves in Pitcher's Duel | California News
Description
The Dodgers suffered a brutal sweep at the hands of the Braves, losing 1-0 in the finale thanks to Chris Sale’s dominant complete-game shutout—striking out eleven and firing a 100+ mph fastball at Ohtani. Yamamoto held strong early but couldn’t get enough run support. This loss continues a troubling trend: thirteen one-run games since July, shaky bullpen and defense, and just one win in twelve against playoff teams. Despite the slump, manager Dave Roberts remains confident, citing a recent six-game stretch where they played great baseball. Hope is on the horizon with Will Smith and Ohtani back, and Roberts even benched slumping Kyle Tucker against Sale—planning to unleash him in October. Meanwhile, Roki Sasaki’s blister landed him on the IL, making way for rested reliever Seth Halvorsen.
