For the second straight day, the Dodgers were routed. Their 11-4 defeat to the Washington Nationals on Sunday matched their largest margin of defeat. Monday’s drubbing surpassed it.
Dominant left-handed closer Felipe Vazquez is under contract through 2023, but the Pittsburgh Pirates want shortstop Gavin Lux among other Dodgers prospects in return.The Dodgers had correctly placed Muncy in the fifth inning but he couldn’t make the play anyway. It was a window into how the club leads the National League in errors but is also first in defensive runs saved.
Muncy’s miscue, which was not initially ruled an error before a scoring change, broke the dam. Nolan Arenado had been three for 29 against Maeda before hitting a two-run single to center field. Two batters later, after Maeda walked Daniel Murphy, Ryan McMahon lined a two-run double down the right-field line to give Colorado a 6-0 lead.
It was Maeda’s 27th and final pitch of the inning. He didn’t secure an out. His defense let him down, but he didn’t help himself by walking two batters in the fifth inning, including starting pitcher Jon Gray. Caleb Ferguson replaced Maeda and managed to strand the three runners. Maeda was charged with six runs, five earned, and seven hits in four-plus innings.
The Dodgers’ sloppiness surfaced two batters into the game. Story hit a groundball to third baseman Justin Turner. His throw to first base was accurate but Joc Pederson, an outfielder the Dodgers are trying to convert into a first baseman on the fly, lost the ball in the sun peeking through the ballpark behind Turner. The ball bounced off Pederson’s glove. It was his second consecutive game with an error at first base and his sixth error in 19 games at the position.
