The Dodgers avoided a sweep at Petco Park and followed with a sweep of the Cincinnati Reds, producing a four-game winning streak. The streak ended with back-to-back losses to the Arizona Diamondbacks, a team that had been a trade-deadline seller. Tyler Glasnow carried a no-hitter into the sixth while battling a bloody finger and kept the game scoreless until allowing three runs in the seventh. Offensive struggles combined with execution lapses and baserunning mistakes directly hurt the team. Freddie Freeman was tagged out trying to take third after a leadoff double, and Kiké Hernández was thrown out at home on Shohei Ohtani's fly.
I think if you look at tonight, I thought Tyler threw the baseball well, which was really good to see. And I just think that tonight, there were a lot of things that I'm not going to get into that just lent itself to really uncharacteristic lack of focus,
I just think that there were some things that, whether it's an at-bat here or there, whether it's a play here or there, that mistakes and execution that just can't happen. Those guys earned the win, but I can also say, in some parts, we gave it away. "We beat ourselves. So, yeah, this is a tough one. I mean, I just really can't excuse it or rationalize it, I guess."
