Dodgers face sixth consecutive loss after recent struggles

The Los Angeles Dodgers, currently on a six-game losing streak, are struggling ahead of their game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. They have been swept in two consecutive series, looking more like a wild card contender than a playoff favorite. During this stretch, their offense has faltered, averaging just over one run in their last six games. Their starting pitchers, including Yosshinobu Yamamoto and Tarik Skubal, have performed well individually but failed to secure wins. The upcoming matchup against the Diamondbacks marks a significant test for the Dodgers, who were previously swept by them last month.
