Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts criticizes the club after a 6-2 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers, saying the team is not playing “clean baseball.” The setback is described as costly in the tight race for National League home-field advantage.
Multiple reports link the loss to a broader stretch of poor results for Los Angeles. The Dodgers are said to have lost three of four games in the series against Milwaukee, with the Brewers holding a 3-game lead over the Dodgers for the NL’s best record. If the teams finish tied in a two-way deadlock, Milwaukee’s head-to-head advantage is described as important for postseason seeding.
Across the coverage, the focus remains on the Dodgers’ form in recent games. One outlet notes Los Angeles is 5-11 in its past 16 contests and has recently been swept by the Boston Red Sox and Chicago Cubs, along with losing series to the Arizona Diamondbacks and Brewers. While the reports center on Roberts’ remarks, they collectively frame the criticism as tied to outcomes that affect their positioning late in the regular season.
