Los Angeles Dodgers closer Edwin 'Sugar' Díaz failed to secure a save for the third time in his last four appearances, allowing four consecutive singles and three runs in the ninth inning against the Milwaukee Brewers. The Dodgers, who were leading by two runs, ultimately lost 5-4.
Manager Dave Roberts expressed frustration with the team's bullpen, stating that he needs other options and that none of the current relievers have performed well. Díaz's struggles have put pressure on Roberts to find a solution, as the team has lost nine of its last 13 games.
Roberts emphasized that each player has a role and must perform their job, but his patience seems to be wearing thin. The Dodgers' bullpen has had trouble in high-pressure situations, despite not having terrible overall statistics.
