Remember when the Dodgers injury-riddled rotation was the problem? That’s so last month.
The issue now is the bullpen. Over the last four weeks the team’s bullpen ERA has ballooned to 4.44. Only six teams in the majors entered Wednesday with a higher mark.
Freddie Freeman saved the Dodgers from another painful bullpen implosion Wednesday, lining a two-out, two-run single to left field in the ninth inning, giving the team a 4-3 walk-off win over the Minnesota Twins in a getaway day matinee at Dodger Stadium.
An inning earlier Kirby Yates had given up two runs and an eighth-inning lead without recording an out.
