The Los Angeles Dodgers are looking to end a four-game losing streak and avoid a series sweep against the St. Louis Cardinals Sunday afternoon.
The Dodgers, who lost the last two games against the Miami Marlins at home and dropped the first two in St. Louis, are in the middle of a historic power slump.
Saturday was no different.
Though the 3-2 score implies a hard-fought game, the Dodgers didn’t score until there were two outs in the ninth inning.
At that point, they managed to get runners on base and to home plate when Cardinals defenders repeatedly mishandled hard-hit balls, though a Dalton Rushing strikeout ultimately stranded the tying and winning runners.
Those offensive struggles wasted a strong start by Roki Sasaki, something that’s been a trend for the past couple of weeks.
The Dodgers are currently on a four-game losing streak.

Lefty Justin Wrobleski gets the start on Sunday.
Wrobleski, with his 4-0 record in five games and 1.50 ERA, has been a surprising star for the Boys in Blue.
Though his whiff rate and strikeout rates are both in the bottom 5% of pitchers, his pitching run value, fastball run value and breaking run value are all in the top 6%.
The Cardinals are starting former Dodger Dustin May on the mound.
He’s struggled so far this year, with a 5.28 ERA and a 3-2 record.
He’s excellent at avoiding walks, with his 5.4% walk rate in the top 10% of pitchers.
He is among the worst in whiff percentage, though, with his 14.3% being in the 3rd percentile.
The Dodgers and Cardinals face off at Busch Stadium, with first pitch set for 11:15 a.m.
The game will be shown on SportsNet LA in Southern California.
