Fans Call For Torey Lovullo's Firing After Latest Loss - Athlon Sports

The Los Angeles Dodgers mounted a stunning comeback against the Arizona Diamondbacks, capped by a monumental three-run homer from Shohei Ohtani in the ninth inning, leading to a 6-3 victory. Despite a strong performance from Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte, who hit two home runs, and Lourdes Gurriel Jr., who contributed a grand slam, the game turned on the struggles of Arizona's bullpen. Manager Torey Lovullo faced mounting criticism following the game, reminiscent of last season's late collapse that cost the team a playoff spot. Reliever Kevin Ginkel allowed five runs, raising his ERA to a staggering 15.43.

The Diamondbacks now find themselves at 20-19, while the Dodgers improve to 30-16 since 2022, continuing their dominance in the matchup. With the D'backs' potent lineup unable to secure a win, questions about the efficacy of managerial decisions loom large as they strive to maintain competitiveness in the division.

What does this recent loss mean for the Diamondbacks' playoff hopes?How will the Diamondbacks address their bullpen issues?What can the Diamondbacks learn from this loss?How does this game reflect the state of the NL West?
