Dodgers stumble in Pittsburgh as Paul Skenes silenced LA for six scoreless innings, eight Ks, and a seven-pitch mix. Blake Snell was roughed up by the Pirates, allowing five runs on nine hits in five innings. LA’s late ninth-inning push wasn’t enough as they drop to two games up in the NL West with 22 to go, while the rest of the playoff picture tightens with the Phillies, Padres and Orioles looming. Ohtani opened with a strikeout; Dodgers’ lineup still searching for consistency.
