  • Dodgers final score: Andy Pages, Teoscar Hernández lead 8-4 win over AZ

    One veteran outfielder and one rookie outfielder did the heavy lifting for the Dodgers offense on Monday night, cashing in several scoring opportunities that were very much needed on a wild night in a 8-4 win over the Diamondbacks in the series opener at Chase Field in Phoenix. Teoscar Hernández scored the first run of the game after a single in the second inning, then hit a two-run double in the fifth with the bases loaded, a situation that has mostly confounded the Dodgers this season....

  • Ryan Brasier injury: Dodgers place on 15-day IL with right calf strain

    The Dodgers placed pitcher Ryan Brasier on the 15-day injured list with a right calf strain, just ahead of their three-game series against the Diamondbacks at Chase Field in Phoenix. Gus Varland, who joined the Dodgers in Toronto on Saturday on the taxi squad if needed for potential relief coverage, was recalled Monday from Triple-A Oklahoma City. It’s been an uneven start to the season for Brasier, who has a 4.63 ERA in 12 appearances, with 12 strikeouts and three walks. His three home runs...

    The Dodgers played their first major league game in Canada since 2016, as they ambushed the Toronto Blue Jays to win their fifth straight game by a final score of 12-2. Gavin Stone made his fifth start of the season, as he looked to rebound after a shortened outing where he allowed five walks in just 3 2⁄3 innings against the New York Mets. The Dodgers’ bats came out swinging early against Blue Jays starter Chris Bassitt, as Shohei Ohtani ambushed a 1-1 pitch for his now team-leading seventh...

  • Dodgers final score: Bases loaded woes, too many walks in 6-4 Mets win

    On a day with exasperating pitching, extreme wildness, and an almost comical aversion to cashing in run-scoring opportunities, the Dodgers dropped their third game in a row, 6-4 to the Mets in what might be the most frustrating loss in a growing string of them. On offense the Dodgers could capitalize, on the mound they couldn’t get clean innings, and any time they seemed to get themselves back into the game, the Mets would respond. That’s how it’s gone lately for the Dodgers, who have lost seven...
