Dodgers struggle in World Series Game 4 loss to Blue Jays | Dodgers Debate

About this episode

The episode discusses the Dodgers' loss in World Series Game 4 against the Blue Jays and the implications for the series.

The Blue Jays topped the Dodgers 6-2 in Game 4, tying the World Series at 2-2 heading into Game 5 on Wednesday. A four-run seventh-inning rally against the Dodgers’ fatigued and faulty bullpen proved to be the difference. The Dodgers’ slumping offense, which has just three runs over the last 21 innings, remains a critical concern. Los Angeles Times Dodger beat writer Jack Harris and columnists Dylan’s Hernandez and Bill Plaschke on the heat, Dylan’s sleep habits and if the Dodgers can actually win this series.
