Dodgers Manager Roberts On Game 2 Loss: "We Didn't Play Well Enough"
The Los Angeles Dodgers fell to the San Diego Padres in a frustrating Game 2 loss, bringing their record to 1-1 in the series. After a dominant Game 1 win, the Dodgers seemed flat in Game 2, leaving fans wondering what went wrong.
Manager Dave Roberts addressed the media after the game, acknowledging the team's lackluster performance. "We didn't play well enough," he said. "We gave them too many free bases, and we didn't get the timely hits we needed."
The Dodgers struggled with walks and errors, allowing the Padres to capitalize on their mistakes. The team's pitching staff also didn't have their best outing, with several pitchers struggling to find their rhythm. Roberts noted that the Padres' pitching staff was "tough to hit," and they "made the adjustments we needed to make."
Looking forward to Game 3, Roberts emphasized the need for a strong response. "We need to come back tomorrow and play a clean game," he said. "We have the talent to bounce back, and I have confidence in this team."
The series shifts to San Diego for the next three games, and the Dodgers will be looking to regain their momentum. The pressure is on for the defending World Series champs to avoid falling too far behind in the series. Fans and analysts alike will be closely watching to see if the Dodgers can make the necessary adjustments to bounce back and regain their dominant form.
