US EditionDodgers’ Losing Streak Reaches 7 Games with 1-Run Loss to Giants
SAN FRANCISCO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, JUL 12 – Shohei Ohtani hit his 32nd home run of the season into McCovey Cove but the Dodgers lost their seventh straight game, tightening their NL West lead to four games, MLB said.
- The Los Angeles Dodgers dropped their seventh consecutive game of the 2025 season following an 8-7 defeat to the San Francisco Giants at Oracle Park on July 12, 2025.
- This losing streak, the team’s worst since an 11-game skid in September 2017, reflects ongoing struggles despite Shohei Ohtani's strong individual performance, including a rare splash hit home run.
- Ohtani blasted a 410-foot home run into McCovey Cove, marking the Dodgers' first ball to splash into the water since Max Muncy did so in 2021, but the Giants took control with a five-run fifth inning and key hits from Jung Hoo Lee and Willy Adames to secure the victory.
- Dodgers manager Dave Roberts noted Mookie Betts is not at full strength after going numb momentarily, and stated, "It's tough to come closer to a win but still extend the losing streak," while Betts reached base three times.
- The defeat shrinks the Dodgers’ National League West lead to four games, placing pressure on the team to rebound quickly and maintain competitiveness in the playoff race as Ohtani prepares to pitch again Saturday.
