Yoshinobu Yamamoto Stunned by Zach Neto’s Surge—Can Angels Complete the Upset as Dodgers’ NL West Grip Slips?
But as the calendar flips six months forward, the scene feels strangely familiar. This season’s Dodgers are wrestling again with many of those same challenges: key players missing from the mound and bullpen, once-potent offense faltering after an explosive first half, and mounting frustration weighed against a razor-thin lead in the National League West, barely holding off the surging San Diego Padres.
With a tough 7-4 defeat to the Angels in the opening game of the Freeway Series, doubts creep in. Momentum that seemed to be building has stalled, and the path forward looks fraught with obstacles — echoing last year’s rough patch but with the pressure dialed even higher for a title defense. The promise of a smoother ride this season is slipping through their fingers, leaving fans and the team alike wondering if the magic that propelled them to glory can strike twice under such trying conditions.
