Blake Snell: Dodgers Can't Make 'Excuses' For Poor Play
"I don't know. We're just not playing good baseball. I mean, I think that's really it. It's pretty simple. We're just not playing good ball. We go to Baltimore, and they played good against San Diego, so we've got to come out with energy. We've got to set the tone with pitching and do what we know we can do. We're a really good time. We've got to figure that out. That's on us to do that."
"Snell allowed five runs over five innings while giving up nine hits and walking three. Most of the damage came during his final inning, when Snell allowed four runs on four hits, which broke the game open and put it out of reach for the Dodgers. After being swept, the Dodgers are now 1-5 in their last six games, and they've gone 25-30 since the start of July."
The Los Angeles Dodgers lost again after starting Blake Snell, who allowed five runs, nine hits and three walks over five innings. Most damage came in Snell's final inning when he allowed four runs on four hits, breaking the game open and putting it out of reach. The loss completed a sweep and dropped the Dodgers to 1-5 over six games and 25-30 since July began, erasing a nine-game NL West lead. Snell's ERA rose from 1.97 to 3.19 after allowing eight runs in 10.1 innings, with only 42.1 innings pitched this season. The offense was silent for 17 innings before a ninth-inning three-run rally fell short.
