Los Angeles Dodgers starter Eric Lauer faced early struggles, allowing two homers in the first inning against the Pittsburgh Pirates on June 9, 2026. However, he responded by pitching effectively for 4.2 innings, securing a no-decision as the Dodgers rebounded to score 10 runs in the seventh inning to take command. Lauer's ERA with the Dodgers stands at 2.76, a significant improvement from his time with the Toronto Blue Jays earlier this season. The Dodgers acquired Lauer in May after he was designated for assignment. His future in the rotation may depend on the return of injured pitchers Tyler Glasnow and Blake Snell.
