Dodgers’ offense falters in 5-3 loss to Diamondbacks, completing sweep

The Los Angeles Dodgers suffered a 5-3 defeat to the Arizona Diamondbacks, completing a three-game sweep on July 12 at Dodger Stadium. Shohei Ohtani hit a leadoff home run, his 22nd of the season, and the Dodgers initially led 3-0. However, defensive errors allowed Arizona to rally, capitalizing on mistakes that have plagued the Dodgers recently. With a record of 61-36, the Dodgers now head into the All-Star break with questions surrounding their performance after being outscored 23-8 by the Diamondbacks over the weekend. Emmet Sheehan pitched well but was let down by defensive miscues.
