The Los Angeles Dodgers are in the midst of a rare power outage, and it couldn't have come at a worse time. After dropping three straight games for the first time this season, the team's bats have gone quiet in a way not seen in over a decade.

Shohei Ohtani snapped his own personal drought last Sunday with a seventh-inning homer off Chicago Cubs reliever Hoby Milner—ending a 59-plate-appearance stretch without a long ball, his longest such gap since joining the Dodgers. But since that swing, the entire lineup has gone cold. The team hasn't hit a home run in four full games, spanning 157 plate appearances.

That four-game homerless streak is the longest for the Dodgers since June 2023, and the longest overall since a five-game skid back in May 2015. To put that in perspective: after launching five homers in a single game at Coors Field on April 20, the Dodgers have managed just three home runs over their last 10 contests—their fewest in a 10-game stretch since 2014.

Of course, the power outage isn't the only issue. In those same four games, opponents have gone deep five times, including a pair of homers by the St. Louis Cardinals in Friday's 7-2 series-opening loss. The Dodgers reached base 11 times that night but went 0-for-6 with runners in scoring position. During the homerless skid, they're hitting just .212 (7-for-33) with six singles and a double.

The offense has been especially anemic during the three-game losing streak, scoring only five total runs. They've been held to three or fewer runs in six of their last 10 games. And while the team hasn't hit more than one homer in any of those contests, the immediate goal is far simpler: just get one on the board this week.

For a lineup built to mash, this drought is a wake-up call. But in baseball, slumps are as inevitable as they are temporary. The question is how quickly the Dodgers can rediscover their power swing—and whether their bats can heat up before the losing streak deepens.
