The Los Angeles Dodgers' 6-5 loss to the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday secured one of the all-time most inexplicable season sweeps for the Angels. As unfathomable as it would have seemed at the start of the season, the Dodgers lost all six games they've played against the Angels this season. This adds another layer to the painful irony that was Dave Roberts downplaying Shohei Ohtani starting against his former team earlier this week.
While Roberts was quick to downplay the Dodgers' games against the Angels,Ohtani clearly thought the games were important. He made that extremely clear with his play on the field.
