The Los Angeles Dodgers lose 5-4 to the NL-leading Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday, despite taking a two-run lead into the ninth inning with closer Edwin Díaz pitching. Multiple outlets report that Díaz blows his third save of the month and that the Dodgers allow a late rally.
According to Yahoo Sports, Milwaukee scores three runs on five hits in the ninth to turn the game after Díaz’s appearance. Newsweek and the New York Post also describe Díaz’s blown save and highlight the Dodgers’ bullpen struggles. Several reports add that Díaz and manager Dave Roberts react with frustration, with Roberts questioning the available options after another late-game collapse.
While outlets vary in how strongly they phrase the reaction, the core points align: the late lead disappears in the ninth inning, Díaz’s performance is central, and Roberts expresses mounting impatience with bullpen outcomes and roster usage. Yahoo Sports also emphasizes Roberts’ frustration with needing alternatives as the bullpen continues to fail in high-leverage spots.
