The struggles began with the Dodgers stranding two runners against Dakota Hudson in the first inning. In the third inning, with two runners on base, Cody Bellinger hit a line drive at shortstop Paul DeJong, who caught it and stepped on second base for an inning-ending double play. In the fourth inning, the bases were left loaded when Ross Stripling, the Dodgers’ starting pitcher, struck out with two out. In the fifth, the Dodgers loaded the bases again with two out to chase Hudson, who gave up six hits and walked four batters, and was replaced by right-hander John Brebbia. Enrique Hernandez struck out, slamming his bat in disgust as the Dodgers squandered another chance.
