Mandatory Credit: Kiyoshi Mio-Imagn Images | Kiyoshi Mio-Imagn Images The Dodgers have lost three games in a row for the first time this season, their overall record Staind due partly because it’s been a while since they last hit a home run. Shohei Ohtani last Sunday in the seventh inning homered off Chicago Cubs reliever Hoby Milner, which snapped Ohtani’s 59-plate-appearance gap without a long ball, his longest power drought with the Dodgers. The team hasn’t homered since, a stretch totaling 157 plate appearances and each of the last four full games. Four games without a home run is the longest drought by the Dodgers since June 16-20, 2023. They haven’t gone longer than that since a five-game homerless skid from May 16-21, 2015. After hitting five home runs in the series finale at Coors Field on April 20, the Dodgers have three total home runs in their last 10 games, their fewest over a stretch that long since 2014. The lack of home runs aren’t the *only* reason the Dodgers are struggling, but it doesn’t help that in those last four games their opponents have homered five times, including two by the . The Dodgers reached base 11 times on Friday but were hitless in six at-bats with runners in scoring position. During their four-game homerless skid, they have seven hits in 33 at-bats (.212), with six singles and a double. During their three-game losing streak, the Dodgers scored five total runs, and have been held to three or fewer runs six times in their last 10 games. They’ve hit no more than one homer in any of those 10 games. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves in daring to think of multiple home runs in the same game. Getting the first one this week would be a good start.
