The Dodgers lost to the Rockies in a close game, marked by critical defensive mistakes. After Yoshinobu Yamamoto's strong performance, the team's failure to capitalize led to a walk-off single. Manager Dave Roberts expressed his frustration, emphasizing the necessity for players to make adjustments, especially with runners in scoring position. Teoscar Hernández's misplays were highlighted as detrimental, contributing significantly to the loss and breaking the team's winning streak against the Rockies. The overall message was one of urgency for improvement in both defensive execution and offensive strategy.
Manager Dave Roberts criticized the team's inability to adjust, stating, "We should have won that game, certainly with the way he (Yamamoto) pitched. This was a hard one to kind of put into words."
Roberts emphasized the need for better performance with runners on base: "You've got to make adjustments and shorten up and find a way to move it forward - you do - and give yourself a chance."
Defensive issues were spotlighted, particularly Teoscar Hernández's poor decisions and plays, which contributed to multiple Rockies runs in the game.
Roberts lamented the team's overall performance, insisting, "If not then you're going to have double-digit punch (strikeouts). We can be better than that. We need to be better."
