Dodgers Magic Number: LA fans down bad after rock bottom meltdown in Baltimore

There's no use in sugarcoating it: Saturday's ninth-inning collapse against the Baltimore Orioles was the Los Angeles Dodgers' worst loss of the season, and perhaps the worst of the last decade.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto was just one out away from completing a no-hitter, but that final out never came. The Dodgers still had a two-run lead and nobody on base when Yamamoto walked off the mound, but an epic bullpen meltdown by Blake Treinen and Tanner Scott saw the Orioles walk it off (for the second night in a row) with a 4-3 win.

The loss felt like a gut punch for the defending World Series champions, whose fans have already begun to lose hope in their chance to repeat this year.
