Dodgers’ injury-ravaged bullpen finally implodes in loss to Reds

LA Times  

Dodgers reliever Yohan Ramírez walks to the dugout after being pulled in the fifth inning of a 9-6 loss to the Cincinnati Reds on Friday night at Great American Ballpark. In the kind of meltdown the team has dreaded of late — with key relievers Evan Phillips, Brusdar Graterol, Ryan Brasier and Joe Kelly all on the injured list — the Dodgers’ relief corps came unglued in the fifth inning Friday night, giving up four runs in the decisive sequence of a 9-6 loss to the Cincinnati Reds. “I still don’t feel it was too much of a leverage spot,” Roberts said, noting the Dodgers needed just one out from Ramírez to escape the inning and set up their preferred late-game plan. And we just didn’t get it done tonight.” Cincinnati’s Jonathan India watches his grand slam against the Dodgers in the fifth inning Friday at Great American Ballpark.
