Dodgers have yet to lose with Eric Lauer on the mound
Four games and four wins. That’s the track record of today’s starter for the Dodgers, Eric Lauer, as he gets ready to face the Twins in a second straight appearance against an American League team. The Dodgers knew exactly what they were getting after acquiring Lauer a little more than a month ago, and they […]
Dodgers Week 13: One-run wins, one bad loss
The Dodgers won four one-run games in a row last week against the Tampa Bay Rays and Baltimore Orioles, their longest such streak since 2010. Then they lost a one-run game on Saturday before turning in a clunker, a 12-1 loss on Sunday. That’s still a 4-2 week, but the two losses represented the first […]

Chris Newell homers twice in Tulsa win, Oklahoma City wins shutout
Two of three Dodgers affiliates that played on Saturday won their games. Player of the day Tulsa outfielder Chris Newell was designated to hit on Saturday, and that he did.

Dodgers notes: Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Shohei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman
Yoshinobu Yamamoto was tasked with extending the Dodgers’ win streak to five on Saturday, but a complete lack of run support and a “lack of feel” on the mound sunk him in. Yamamoto was tagged for three runs against the Baltimore Orioles, the first time he had given up more than one run in any […]
Dodgers comeback attempt falls short in loss to Orioles
One game after a magical walk-off against the Baltimore Orioles, the Dodgers couldn’t get the job done again on Saturday as they fell 3-2.

For Dodgers, 9 innings has been enough
Every Dodgers game in the 2026 season has been decided in nine innings, and the lack of extras hasn’t been for lack of trying. The Tampa Bay Rays loaded the bases in the ninth inning, coming dangerously close to bringing home the equalizer. On Friday, Dalton Rushing’s RBI single should have tied the game with […]
Alek Thomas has best game since joining Dodgers
Dodgers right-hander Brock Stewart pitched a scoreless inning for Class-A Ontario on Friday, the second straight night to complete the planned back-to-back outings that manager Dave Roberts said on Tuesday was coming this week.

Dodgers minors: James Tibbs III walks it off for the Comets
Several one-run affairs and a blowout loss for the Tower Buzzers made up a day of baseball in the Dodgers’ minor league system. Player of the day Sometimes one hit is all you need. Through nine innings, James Tibbs III hadn’t done anything, but then, with one out in the tenth and the Comets trailing […]
Dodgers notes: Brock Stewart, Evan Phillips, Mookie Betts
The Dodgers bullpen is no longer the biggest liability on the team this season, especially after they posted 38 consecutive scoreless innings in the month of May. There are still big-name pitchers in both the rotation and bullpen— Tyler Glasnow, Blake Snell and Edwin Díaz— that are still recovering from injuries, but that hasn’t stopped […]
Sixpence none the richer
Stop me if you’ve heard this one, but last week in Chicago, Yoshinobu Yamamoto took a no-hitter into the ninth inning. And then…well…as if I needed any more reason to be annoyed by the Savannah Bananas…ex-Savannah Banana Tristan Peters spoiled my fun. That ball had a family. I had the oddest sense of deja vu. […]
