The mighty Dodgers are reeling following a 7th straight loss in heartbreaking fashion

The two-time defending World Series champions are in a rare funk. The Los Angeles Dodgers lost their season-high seventh game in a row in a stunning collapse on Friday night after the Arizona Diamondbacks rallied for a 4-3 win when rookie Ryan Waldschmidt hit a two-run, walk-off homer against closer Edwin Diaz. It was another rough outing for Diaz, who has an 11.00 ERA over 11 outings this season. The 32-year-old is a three-time All-Star, but hasn’t been able to help the Dodgers much after signing a $69 million, three-year deal during the offseason. The Dodgers still have a 7 1/2-game lead in the NL West.
