Dave Roberts is not happy with how the Dodgers are playing, and the team's shutout loss to the Giants underlined the team's struggles to drive in runs.
“Collectively, I thought there was a lot of compete,” Roberts said after the game, striking a different tone from his comments earlier in the day. “But again, when you have that situation [with runners on base], you have to find a way to push those guys across.”Dodgers starter Julio Urías gave up two runs and three hits in six innings and took the loss. He struck out 10 and walked none.
They went 0 for 10 with runners in scoring position. They stranded nine men on base. And despite getting the leadoff hitter aboard in four innings, including three times on a leadoff double, they still couldn’t capitalize, getting shut out for the third time this season, against left-hander have struggled in such situations.
In the series — the Dodgers’ first time getting swept in a three-game set by the Giants since 2016 — they went two for 24 with runners in scoring position. Over the last 13 games, during which they have scored just 3.6 runs per game, the team is averaging more than seven runners left on base.said. “We just haven’t been able to get that big hit to unplug this.”“I just think the urgency to do whatever it takes to win that night on the offensive side hasn’t been there,” Roberts said, adding: “It’s not a lack of care. It’s not a lack of try. But the mindset has to get back to whatever it takes to win a game.
He added: “I don’t feel like we’re defensive. I just feel like we could get downhill faster and stay downhill. I think we can do a better job of that.”
