Despite Clayton Kershaw's good pitching, the Los Angeles Dodgers suffered a shocking upset loss due to the collapse of the bullpen. The left-handed bullpen Tanner Scott, who was brought in last winter at a four-year, $72 million special treatment, ruined the game again.
The Dodgers suffered a come-from-behind loss to the Cleveland Guardians in the 2025 Major League Baseball at Progressive Field in Cleveland, Ohio, the U.S. on Tuesday (Korea time). Kim kept the bench for two consecutive games since the previous day.
The Dodgers, ranking first in the Western Division of the National League, ended its two-game winning streak, and posted 34 wins and 22 losses (winning rate of .607). After escaping three consecutive losses, Cleveland ranks second in the American League Central Division with 30 wins and 25 losses (winning rate of .545).
The Dodgers took the lead by 4-2 until the top of the seventh inning. Starter Clayton Kershaw gave up the first run after Jose Ramirez hit a timely RBI single in the bottom of the first inning, but allowed no additional run until the fifth inning. He pitched five innings of six hits, two walks, three strikeouts, and one run.
After being scoreless until the third inning, the Dodgers started targeting at Cleveland left-hander Colby Aladd at the top of the fourth inning. Teoscar Hernandez and Will Smith tied the game with two second-base hits, and Andy Pazs made a timely hit to turn the tables.
In the top of the sixth inning, Freddie Freeman's timely hit to the right side exploded with a walk by Mookie Betts and a wild pitch by opposing pitcher Cade Smith. In the top of the seventh inning, Kike Hernandez's double and Max Muncy's fly ball to center field led to a wild pitch by opposing pitcher Tim Herrin to make it 4-1.
However, the Dodgers' bullpen failed to keep its three-run lead. Lou Trivino gave up one run on three hits in the bottom of the seventh inning, and allowed five runs and big innings in the bottom of the eighth inning.
Tanner Scott, the left-hander who invested a whopping 72 million U.S. dollars for four years to become the free agent, ruined the game again. As soon as he took the mound in the bottom of the eighth inning, Scott caused Austin Hedges to strike out with no outs and no walks, but allowed a 4-4 tie due to a timely hit by two RBIs and left-handedness by Stunned Jones. It was the fifth Blon save of the season. It was the moment when Kershaw lost the game.
With one out and runners at the first and second bases occupied, the Dodgers changed its pitcher to Alex Vesia. However, Vesia gave up the finishing run after hitting a three-run homer to Angel Martinez over the left-center field. Scott, who allowed three hits, one walk, two strikeouts and four runs in ⅔ innings, lost for the first time this season. Scott, who had three blon saves in the last five games, collapsed by allowing 10 earned runs (nine earned runs) in four ⅔ innings during the period. His earned run average for this season also soared to 4.62.
Scott spent his career high season with 84 strikeouts and nine wins, six losses, 22 saves, 11 holds and an earned run average of 1.75 in 74 games (78 innings) between the Miami Marlins and the San Diego Padres last year. Using this as a stepping stone, he became the Dodgers' uniform by making a big hit in the FA market, but ended up in a run-off. Last year, he had only two Blon saves, but this year, he has repeatedly lost five Blon saves in the game at less than half of the season. 바카라
Shohei Ohtani, the Dodgers' designated hitter, had no hit and one walk from three times at bat, ending his streak of home runs in the last three games. Ohtani's batting average for this season fell from 296 to 292 (63 hits from 216 times at bat). OPS also fell from 1.053 to 1.042. Freeman and Smith both posted two hits and one RBI from four times at bat, but suffered a come-from-behind loss.
