The Los Angeles Dodgers lose their season-high seventh straight game in a late collapse, falling 4–3 to the Arizona Diamondbacks on a walk-off home run. Arizona’s rookie Ryan Waldschmidt hits a two-run, walk-off homer against Dodgers closer Edwin Díaz after the Dodgers have a lead. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts says the result “never feels good,” even if the team treats a loss as a loss.
The reports describe the game as another example of the Dodgers’ current slump, contrasting the club’s recent success as two-time defending World Series champions with its present form. While both outlets focus on the same outcome and key figures, they characterize the streak as a “rare funk” and emphasize the emotional impact of being walked off rather than the broader season context. None of the accounts present differing interpretations of the central event.
Overall, the shared picture is that the Dodgers’ extended skid is driven by late-game bullpen and closing situations, culminating in a walk-off that extends the streak to seven straight defeats.
