Blake Snell pitched well enough to win, but the Dodgers’ offense let him down again—falling to the Tigers in another one-run game per the LA Times. Snell gave up just one run over six innings, but our lineup couldn’t capitalize on scoring opportunities down the stretch. This marks the fourth loss in our last five games, and the pattern is becoming impossible to ignore: we’re not converting chances when it matters.

Snell has been a stabilizing presence on the mound since joining the rotation. He took the ball yesterday and delivered a quality start—one earned run in six frames is exactly what you want from a veteran left-hander. The problem isn’t the pitching. The problem is we’re leaving runners on base and failing to string together at-bats when we need them most. A pitcher can’t do much when the lineup goes quiet in clutch spots.

This loss extends a brutal stretch. We’ve now played in five straight one-run games, and we’re on the wrong side of most of them. At this point in the season, with playoff positioning still being decided, every single game matters. We can’t afford to keep squandering the chances our starters are giving us. If Snell pitches like that again, we should be winning. Period.
