Yushin Yamamoto was bombarded with a slam cannon, and Shohei Ohtani was quiet again in the feud vs. Dodge, and lost to the giants in the first battle

Back in 2013, only one team took the National League West throne from the Dodgers - in 2021, the Giants beat the Dodgers by 106 by one win. The Giants haven't made it to the playoffs since, and the Dodgers are the defending champions, but this season's division competition is more intense than ever.

After losing 6-2 at home to feuding San Francisco Giants today, the Dodgers relinquished the divisional top spot and lost their individual lead for the first time since May 11. Head coach Dave Roberts admitted before the game: "The Giants have a ripe winning mode, and this game will be a tough battle." "

In the ace matchup, Yushin Yamamoto was suppressed by his opponent Logan Webb. In the first game, Willy Adames took the lead, and in the third game, Yamamoto was hit by Casey Schmitt's slam after three consecutive deliveries, and then retired after escorting Schmidt again in five games (a career high of five guarantees in a single game). This is the second time this season that he has exited under five innings (twice in the last three games).

Webb suppressed the Dodgers to hit 2 hits and 3 hits, only to lose points to Andy Pages' flying sacrifice in the second inning, and Teoscar Hernández lost points in the seventh inning.

Dodgers Japanese star Shohei Ohtani had another quiet day today, and today he swallowed 2 strikeouts 4-0, and Ohtani in June has fallen into a long low ebb.

There are three major observation points in the zoning pattern

1. Top grappling
With the exception of Loki, there are no weak teams in the division: the Sidewinders are 5.5 games away from the top of the standings, and the Padres are just 2 games behind the Dodgers Giants. Historical data shows what it means to have a June lead – 60% of the division winners since 1996 were at least tied for the top spot on June 1, and last year's six division leaders went on to win (including the Dodgers).

2. Urgent decision-making
Dodgers admit internal divisional pressures prompted a surprise move in May: sacking veterans Austin Barnes and Chris Taylor to make room for newcomers Dalton Rushing and Hyeseong Kim. Andrew Friedman, president of baseball operations, emphasized last month, "The 106-win 2021 game is a lesson learned, and the division top spot is the foundation for achieving the ultimate goal." "

3. Long-term layout
The Dodgers have missed their expectations due to a surge of injuries: three injured players have been out of the season – Blake Snell, Tyler Glasnow, Roki Sasaki, Evan Phillips (season reimbursement), Blake Treinen and Brusdar (Brusdar). Graterol) is on the 60-day injury list. "Focusing on the resources you have, rather than waiting for the wounded, is the immediate priority," Roberts said. "

The teams took advantage of the Dodger's loss to bite the score, but the Dodgers were confident that the Dodgers would regain supremacy when reinforcements returned.
