Reporting from Atlanta — Nothing went right for the Dodgers on Sunday.
Their pitching was dreadful. Balls were dropped in the outfield. There was a miscalculation on the basepaths. Not a single one of them could hit with a man in scoring position.
But as uninspired as the Dodgers appeared in their 13-1 loss to the Atlanta Braves at Turner Field, they insisted that they haven’t given up and still have some fight left in them.
“I don’t sense anybody throwing their hands up and quitting,” Manager Joe Torre said.
“The will to win is definitely here,” Ryan Theriot said.
Even if that’s true, they don’t have many games remaining.
With 44 games left in the regular season, the Dodgers trail the first-place San Diego Padres by 10 games in the National League West. They are 6½ games behind the wild-card-leading San Francisco Giants.
