The Los Angeles Dodgers watched the Chicago Cubs outscore them 20-2 the last two days, leading to Mookie Betts and the lineup enduring back-to-back home losses. Dodger fans haven't seen a home run the last two nights, as it's clear the bats are in a bit of a cold stretch.

Los Angeles went from building an 8-0 start, to winning only three of its last nine contests. The last remnant of their World Series title run is the banner that sits inside Chavez Ravine. L.A. has looked nothing like the 2024 version of themselves during this slide. This time the Dodgers took a 4-2 loss Sunday, with Dave Roberts himself identifying the issues.

Betts, too, has spoken out about the slump. He dropped an eye-opening claim about the brutal losses to Dodger Blue on X. The perennial All-Star, though, isn't jamming his index finger on the panic button.

“I think it's just a bumpy two weeks,” Betts began. “We got a long time, we got a long season to go and a lot can happen.”

“This isn't the first time we sucked for two weeks, it just happens that it's right now,” Betts said.

However, Betts was quick to note the effect the word “panic” can have for the Dodgers.

“If we panic, things get worse. If we don't panic, it looks like we don't care. So what are we supposed to do?” Betts asked.

The shortstop took to the plate three times against the Cubs on Sunday night. He squeaked out one hit — a single ripped to center field off of a sweeper offering from Chicago's starting pitcher Colin Rea.

He wasn't the lone struggling Dodgers batter, though. Shohei Ohtani went a stunning 0-for-5 at the plate. Teoscar Hernandez went hitless too on four attempts. Max Muncy went 0-for-2 — but hit a sacrifice fly to right field that drove in one of Los Angeles' two runs.

Michael Conforto and Will Smith rose as the lone Dodgers smacking two hits. L.A., though, struck out 10 times. Betts and the Dodgers are now 0-4 overall when the opposition holds them to two runs or less.
