Dodgers Struggle with Late-Game Collapses

The Los Angeles Dodgers have been struggling leading up to the All-Star break, losing six of their last seven games, including a series against the Detroit Tigers marked by late-game collapses. Notably, the Dodgers suffered a 4-3 walk-off loss to the Tigers on Sunday and an 11-9 defeat on Saturday after blowing a five-run lead in the ninth inning. The Tigers' recent success includes two consecutive walk-off wins and victories against first-place teams, demonstrating their resilience. Amid these struggles, Dodgers pitcher Dustin May has been ruled out for the rest of the season due to esophagus surgery. The Mariners also faced bullpen issues, losing 3-2 to the Angels after pulling starter Logan Gilbert despite a strong performance. Both teams are looking forward to the All-Star break to regroup and address their bullpen weaknesses.
