Dodgers bench coach discusses pitching issues following recent poor innings

Los Angeles Dodgers bench coach Danny Lehmann addressed the team's recent struggles with pitching, particularly the propensity to allow big innings. The Dodgers have given up five or more runs in an inning four times in their last seven games, including a series finale against the Los Angeles Angels and a game against the Chicago White Sox. Despite an overall strong defensive record, the bullpen has surrendered 14 home runs since June 7, with Jack Dreyer allowing five since returning from the injured list. Lehmann emphasized the need for improvement in strike throwing and avoiding walks as keys to correcting these issues.
