They had actually tied the game with a run in bottom 8th and decided to turn the 9th inning of the tied game over to starter Kenta Maeda. But he promptly served up a run on three singles and LA failed to match in their half. So that's now five straight losses, all to division rivals (COL & SFG), all by one run and/or walk-off, and with 9 of the 19 runs they've allowed during that stretch coming in the 8th & 9th innings. Oh yeah, and they're not hitting either: 12 RS in 5 games The "pleasant" me says, "Couldn't happen to a nicer team". My evil twin joins folks who used to root for the Brooklyn Dodgers in saying, "I hope they never win another game and the fans boo the team out of town". I'm enjoying the heck out of their misfortunes. Later
