Yes, the Dodgers have won six in a row, but that doesn't mask the issues they have with their rotation, their bullpen and their defense.
The Dodgers win their sixth in a row, as Max Muncy’s walk-off homer beats the Phillies 10-6. Gavin Stone goes four innings in his major league debut.
Asked if the Dodgers wanted their best starters pitching at Petco Park, Roberts conceded, “I think there’s something to that.” The lack of rotation depth has magnified the weakness of the relievers. The Dodgers started Wednesday with the eighth-worst bullpen ERA in the majors. Muncy could be a game changer for the Dodgers, as he and rookie James Outman could lengthen a lineup that was expected to be overly reliant on Betts, Freddie Freeman and Will Smith.Will Smith is off to a fantastic start for the Dodgers. While the catcher might come across as boring, his skill and loyalty have him on a path to stardom.
