"If we had to do it over again, he's got to be at second base. You've got arguably your hottest hitter at the plate with two outs, you just can't get caught up in a rundown there. Can't do it."
"Call's gaffe occurred with two outs in the third inning and Andy Pages at the plate. Call led off the inning with a base hit and moved into scoring position on Shohei Ohtani's one-out walk."
"Pages was hitting third in the Dodgers lineup, due in large part to Will Smith and Teoscar Hernández receiving rest, and Mookie Betts still being on the 10-day injured list."
"Pages went 1-for-4 and has hit safely in 12 of 15 games this season. As Roberts noted, the 25-year-old has arguably been the best hitter on the Dodgers roster so far in 2026."
The Dodgers experienced a disappointing 5-2 loss, highlighted by a season-high 10 walks from the pitching staff and critical baserunning errors. Alex Call's mistake in the third inning, where he was caught in a rundown, ended a scoring opportunity. Manager Dave Roberts emphasized the importance of making better decisions in crucial moments. Andy Pages, who has been a standout player, continues to perform well despite the team's struggles, hitting safely in 12 of 15 games this season and earning recognition as National League Player of the Week.
