Dodgers swept by Diamondbacks as manager Roberts expresses disappointment

The Los Angeles Dodgers were swept by the Arizona Diamondbacks, with losses of 9-3, 9-2, and 5-3 over the three-game series at Dodger Stadium that concluded on July 12, 2026. Manager Dave Roberts criticized his team's defensive performance, stating there were 'mental lapses' and 'situationally we weren’t good offensively.' The Dodgers, who reached 60 wins earlier in the season, fell to 2-5 in their last seven games, emphasizing their struggles heading into the All-Star break. Shohei Ohtani is sidelined from pitching duties due to knee inflammation but will continue to hit during the break. Roberts acknowledged the Diamondbacks' effort, stating they 'outplayed' the Dodgers throughout the series.
