“Unraveled Defense: How the Dodgers’ Latest Blunders Could Shift Their Season’s Fate”
“Defensively today, we gave them a lot of chances for them to score some runs,” Rojas said. “So we gotta clean that up.”
The Nationals’ defense, on the other hand, twice took away hits that doused potentially dangerous Dodgers rallies.
In the top of the third, Max Muncy was robbed of extra bases on a diving catch in right field by Alex Call — just three batters before Ohtani whacked a two-run homer that otherwise would have scored three.
In the fifth, Rojas was denied a hit when shortstop Paul DeJong made a diving stop deep in the hole — just two batters before Ohtani laced a triple that would have brought him home, but instead was wasted in a scoreless inning.
