The Dodgers continue to struggle with their pitching staff, highlighted by a 5-0 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals. Justin Wrobleski, making only his second start of the season, surrendered four runs over six innings, contributing to the Dodgers' fourth loss in six games. Meanwhile, the offense has faltered, managing to score just one run in their last two outings. Despite leading the majors in runs, their batting average has sunk below .220.

Sonny Gray dominated the Dodgers' lineup, earning his seventh win of the season. The Dodgers stranded numerous runners, going 1-for-13 with runners in scoring position. The pressure mounts as injuries pile up and the team grapples with their identity heading into the season's second half.
