After the tough loss, Freeman made an honest statement about the team’s offense when he met with the media (h/t SportNet LA).
Freeman: “We’ve kinda been going through it, I would say as a group. Luckily, we have really, really good pitching… As an offense… The last few games haven’t been where we wanted to be.”

Katie Woo of The Athletic wrote: “They had the bases loaded with one out, but Freddie Freeman bounces into an unorthodox unassisted double play, and the Dodgers lose to the Marlins, 3-2. That’s a disappointing series loss for LA, esp offensively. They’ll hope to get right this weekend in St. Louis. See you there.”
Dodgers Right Now
The Dodgers are still one of the best teams in the MLB despite their offensive struggles.
They are at the top of the National League West with a 20-11 record in 31 games.
