US EditionDodgers Suffer Worst Loss at Dodger Stadium, Routed by Astros
- On July 4, 2025, the Houston Astros handed the Los Angeles Dodgers their most lopsided home loss in Dodger Stadium history, defeating them 18-1.

- Manager Dave Roberts acknowledged execution issues and noted opponents' strategic planning, emphasizing that the Astros' past sign-stealing scandal has no bearing on the current series.
