PHOENIX (AP) — The two-time defending World Series champions are in a rare funk. The Los Angeles Dodgers lost their season-high seventh game in a row in a stunning collapse on Friday night after the Arizona Diamondbacks rallied for a 4-3 win when rookie Ryan Waldschmidt hit a two-run, walk-off homer against closer Edwin Diaz.
A loss is a loss but to get walked off never feels good,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “We didn’t play a clean game, a great game, on either side of the baseball, but we did enough to put ourselves in position to win a game. Unfortunately, we couldn’t finish it.”
The Dodgers were swept by the Boston Red Sox and Chicago Cubs coming into Friday night’s game. They still have a comfortable lead in the NL West — 7 1/2 games in front of the Diamondbacks — despite a 10-16 record since July 5.
强大的道奇队在心碎的方式下遭遇第七连败
凤凰城（美联社）——这支两届卫冕世界大赛冠军的球队正处于罕见的低迷期。洛杉矶道奇队在周五晚上的比赛中以令人震惊的方式遭遇了赛季最高的第七连败，亚利桑那响尾蛇在新秀瑞安·瓦尔德施密特的两分再见本垒打下以4-3逆转获胜。
“失利就是失利，但被对手在最后时刻逆转总是让人感觉不好，”道奇队经理戴夫·罗伯茨说。“我们在比赛的两端都没有打出干净的比赛，但我们做到了足够的事情让自己有机会赢得比赛。不幸的是，我们无法完成它。”
道奇队在周五晚上的比赛之前已经被波士顿红袜队和芝加哥小熊队横扫。尽管自7月5日以来战绩为10胜16负，但他们在国家联盟西区仍领先响尾蛇7.5场。
