What happened: The Los Angeles Dodgers have struggled at the plate in the 2026 Postseason. David Ortiz addressed the reasons behind the slide. The game has not started yet, with the score 0-0 as scheduled.

Why it matters: Production carries extra weight in October when a lineup-wide slide limits scoring chances. That is the case because the Milwaukee Brewers lead the series 1-0.

What to watch: Next is whether Los Angeles Dodgers bats respond once the scheduled game begins.
