Joc Pederson and Max Muncy hit solo home runs for the Dodgers, but it wasn't nearly enough in a 7-2 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals. The Dodgers have now lost their last three games
Besides those sequences, Maeda was effective. The right-hander was also efficient. He held the Cardinals to the two runs on four hits through five innings with 69 pitches. There were no obvious signs of looming trouble. The crash arrived abruptly in the sixth after Pederson’s breakthrough. It started with Paul Goldschmidt landing a bloop single in front of a diving Chris Taylor in center field. Next, DeJong lofted a fly ball down the left-field line.
Two batters later, Molina continued his destruction of the Dodgers after collecting two run-scoring doubles Tuesday, cracking a two-run home run just over the wall in left field. The homers stretched the Cardinals’ lead to four and prompted Maeda’s exit. Maeda ultimately couldn’t match Flaherty, a Studio City Harvard-Westlake High product who allowed one run on three hits and struck out eight without a walk in six innings. The Dodgers were able to inflate Flaherty’s pitch count early, thanks in large part to Justin Turner’s 14-pitch at-bat in the first inning. But Turner’s effort ended in an inning-ending double play and Flaherty settled down.
The right-hander didn’t allow a runner to reach second base until Pederson drove a 96 mph fastball into the Cardinals’ bullpen in the sixth. After beginning the season with home runs in 10 consecutive games, Pederson’s homer was the Dodgers’ first since Sunday against the Colorado Rockies. Max Muncy added another solo shot in the seventh inning, going to the opposite field against left-hander Tyler Webb.
Ozuna supplied the Cardinals’ response, slashing a hanging slider from right-hander JT Chargois 110 mph off the left-field foul pole for a two-run home run in the eighth inning. He pounded his chest and yelled into the Cardinals’ dugout as he trotted down the first base line. The Cardinals were alive. The Dodgers, while no longer dormant, couldn’t match.The best, most interesting and strangest stories of the day from the L.A. sports scene and beyond.
