Dodgers’ Slump Deepens: What’s Behind the Sudden Power Outage and Losing Streak?
The Dodgers offense reached its nadir to date in 2026 last week, failing to hit a home run in any of their six games, losing four — two each to the Miami Marlins and St. Louis Cardinals. It’s the longest home run drought for Los Angeles in a dozen years.
Batter of the week
The choices on offense were sparse here, but we’ll go with Max Muncy with his two doubles, four singles, and three walks, narrowly over Teoscar Hernández with his five singles and five walks. No Dodgers regular had an OPS of at least .800 last week.
Honorable mention to Alex Call, who had three hits in six at-bats.
Pitcher of the week
Justin Wrobleski did not strike any Cardinals out on Sunday but still pitched six scoreless innings, something not done by a Dodgers pitcher in 35 years. Wrobleski since joining the rotation has 29 scoreless innings in his 31 frames.
A close call over Shohei Ohtani, who struck out nine in his six innings on Tuesday, while allowing two runs (one earned) against the Marlins.
