The Los Angeles Dodgers squandered a lead against the L.A. Angels in the opener of the Freeway Series and fell to 1-12 in extra innings this season. They have now lost 11 extra-inning games in a row and are 13-20 in games decided by one run.
David Price surrendered two solo home runs, which allowed the Angels to pull even, and Garrett Cleavinger failed to keep the game tied in the 10th inning. “There’s no explanation,” manager Dave Roberts reiterated of the Dodgers’ record in extra innings.
While that has drawn plenty of attention, Roberts highlighted the Dodgers’ shortcomings with men on base and runners in scoring position.
