There are always ebbs and flows in a baseball season, but the Dodgers haven’t hit left-handed pitching all year. On Friday, the Diamondbacks Caleb Smith was the latest southpaw starter to befuddle the Dodgers bats. Manager Dave Roberts admitted this weekend that improving their hitting against lefties continues to be a point of emphasis.
“Our hitting guys talk about it. Our players talk about it. It’s a show me league. We have to be better.”
As a team, the Dodgers are 19th in OPS against left-handed pitching.
