The Los Angeles Dodgers have gone homerless in their last six games—a shocking drought for a team that once led MLB in home runs. This power outage has contributed to back-to-back series losses and a noticeable dip in form.

Through the first 22 games of the season, the Dodgers smashed 42 home runs, tops in the league. By 34 games, they still held the lead with 45. But after six games without a single long ball, they've slipped from the top spot. The mood in the clubhouse? Surprise.

“Very surprised—and honestly, we haven’t even come close either,” manager Dave Roberts said. “As a team, we can slug.” First baseman Freddie Freeman echoed that sentiment: “It’s surprising with our group of guys. But not surprising when you play this game as long as we have. It’s really hard sometimes. Lately, it’s been really hard to score runs. But nobody’s worried about the power. That will come.”

The Dodgers are one of just two teams without a home run over the last six games. Their 16 runs scored rank fifth-worst in MLB during that stretch, and their 75 wRC+ places them in the bottom five. Only Max Muncy, Teoscar Hernández, and Alex Call have hit above league average, each batting .300 or higher during the skid. Meanwhile, every other Dodger has underperformed.

Miguel Rojas, who was batting .366 before the Marlins series, hasn’t recorded a hit since and has seen his average plummet to .300 in just a week. Dalton Rushing and Andy Pages have cooled off from early-season hot streaks, while Hyeseong Kim shows minor signs of regression. Even the stars—Shohei Ohtani, Freeman, Will Smith, and Kyle Tucker—are sitting below league average over the six-game period.

LA’s lineup is loaded with talent, but this recent slump highlights a potential concern: their heavy reliance on the home run. When the long ball disappears, so does the offense. For a team built on power, the question now is whether they can adjust—or if this is just a temporary blip in a long season.
