LOS ANGELES — The calendar says August, but Sunday at Uniqlo Field at Dodger Stadium felt more like October anxiety.
The Dodgers didn't just lose to the Boston Red Sox. They were exposed.
An 8-4 loss completed a three-game sweep in which the Dodgers were outscored 20-10, outplayed in every phase and left searching for answers just one day before the trade deadline. At 69-43, the Dodgers still own one of baseball's best records, but this weekend served as another reminder that talent alone isn't carrying this club right now.
And nowhere was that more evident than in Emmet Sheehan's latest outing.
