The Dodgers snapped a 7-game skid, but manager Dave Roberts wasn’t in a celebratory moodBy Canadian Press on August 8, 2026. He knows his two-time defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers aren’t playing well right now. “That was a tough one,” Roberts said. The Dodgers are averaging less than 3 1/2 runs per game over the past eight games. The Dodgers have a little room to be patient — they’re now 8 1/2 games up in the NL West after Saturday’s win.
