US EditionDodgers in Crisis: Bullpen Fails Again and Dave Roberts Sends Direct Message to Tanner Scott
The Diamondbacks rallied from a four-run deficit to win 5-4 as the Dodgers bullpen blew their 10th save opportunity this season, jeopardizing their playoff position.

- Shohei Ohtani worked six dominant innings, throwing 91 pitches with eight strikeouts and a four-run lead before the Dodgers bullpen surrendered five runs in 2.2 innings.
- Closer Tanner Scott took the loss, allowing two runs in the ninth and saying `I hit the first guy and walked the second guy,` while Dave Roberts said `He went way too heavy on the slider,` and added the team `didn’t have a good night.`

- Relief inconsistency has left the club little margin for error as the Los Angeles Dodgers bullpen ranks 26th in ERA since Sept. 1, prompting possible use of Clayton Kershaw or rookie Roki Sasaki.
