It was a week to forget for the Los Angeles Dodgers, as their offense hit a season-low point in Week 6. For the first time in 12 years, the Dodgers failed to hit a single home run across six games, losing four of them—two each to the Miami Marlins and St. Louis Cardinals. The power outage left fans searching for bright spots, but they were few and far between.
When it came to offensive production, Max Muncy edged out the competition with a steady week at the plate: two doubles, four singles, and three walks. Teoscar Hernández wasn't far behind, contributing five singles and five walks of his own. Still, no regular starter managed an OPS of .800 or higher, underscoring just how tough the week was for the lineup. A special nod goes to Alex Call, who made the most of limited opportunities with three hits in six at-bats.
Pitching, however, told a different story. Justin Wrobleski delivered a gem on Sunday, tossing six scoreless innings against the Cardinals without recording a single strikeout—a feat no Dodgers pitcher had accomplished in 35 years. Since joining the rotation, Wrobleski has been nothing short of dominant, allowing just two earned runs over 31 innings. Shohei Ohtani also impressed on Tuesday, striking out nine over six innings while allowing only one earned run against the Marlins.
The week's stats paint a clear picture: the Dodgers went 2-4, scoring just 16 runs (2.67 per game) while allowing 20 (3.33 per game). Their Pythagorean win percentage of .399 suggests they were lucky to even win two games. For context, the team's season numbers remain strong at 21-13, averaging 5.15 runs per game with a .694 Pythagorean win percentage—a reminder that this rough patch is likely just a temporary slump.
In roster news, the Dodgers acquired infielder Tyler Fitzgerald from the Toronto Blue Jays for cash considerations, adding depth to their Oklahoma City affiliate. To make room, Landon Knack was moved to the 60-day injured list.
Looking ahead, the Dodgers face a critical stretch this week. They'll wrap up their road trip with three games against the Astros in Houston before returning home to host the first-place Atlanta Braves. With the offense looking to rediscover its power, this could be a defining moment for the season.
