Los Angeles Dodgers

The Los Angeles Dodgers lost to the Philadelphia Phillies, 4-3, on Saturday night and moved to 37-21 on the year.

Right-hander Rouki Sasaki struck out seven across 5.1 innings of work and allowed one earned run, a solo home run in the second inning.

Offensively, it was Alex Call who responded in the second inning to get the defending champions on the board with an RBI single. While LA led 3-1 in the eighth inning, Tanner Scott allowed three runs, leading to his first blown save of the season.

Ahead of Saturday's contest, the Dodgers received some promising news on Teoscar Hernández as he continues to nurse a hamstring injury suffered earlier this week. General manager Brandon Gomes spoke on the MRI results on Friday being better than the team initially though.

“The MRI read better than we had expected,” Gomes said. “Hamstrings are tricky. But once he gets going, we’re hoping it’ll be a quick return, and we’ll try to get him some rehab at-bats.

"When [his groin injury] happened last year, we probably rushed it a bit on that front. We’re getting treatment for the next however many days, and then as he starts getting into things, how he’s responding, we’ll see."

In other news, superstar Shohei Ohtani was dissed by an MLB analyst who said he wasn't "overly impressed" with him on the pitching front. Despite the four-time MVP's 0.82 ERA through 55 frames thus far, the analyst had harsh words for the National League Cy Young contender.

Finally, the Dodgers are expected to be a finalist in the Tarik Skubal sweepstakes as the Detroit Tigers are expected to trade their ace ahead of this year's deadline. When it comes to sheer dominance on the mound, Skubal is someone that can exponentially increase the already large chances of the Dodgers becoming the baseball world's first three-peat team in over a quarter century.
