## Resource

Los Angeles Dodgers suffer a stunning 9-8 loss as Ryan Ward belts his first career grand slam, only for the bullpen to let victory slip away in Pittsburgh. Can Dave Roberts’ squad rebound after this heartbreaker, or do mounting bullpen woes signal deeper trouble for the Dodgers’ championship hopes? Pete Fox recaps the chaos at PNC Park, spotlighting Ward’s highlight moment, Shohei Ohtani’s power surge, and Tyler Callahan’s multi-homer breakout for the Pirates. Analysis zeroes in on bullpen struggles from Kyle Hurt and Jack Dryer, Max Muncie’s costly error, and questionable managerial moves. Key topics include the Dodgers’ recent home run struggles, Eric Karros’ nickname game, and the fight for LA’s first series win in Pittsburgh in four years. Are the Dodgers equipped to bounce back and close out the series?
