The Dodgers were shutout by the Cardinals on Friday as the team had opportunities but struggled to hit with runners in scoring position.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are 38-25 and are one of the best teams in baseball. However, they seem like they still have not reached their potential.

Together they’ve sought out “the little wins,” Betts said. Like Wednesday, when Marte again chopped a ball in Muncy’s direction. The third baseman had a good first step toward the ball and attacked it, using the same finishing motion that Betts had repeated behind him earlier that afternoon. Muncy fielded it cleanly and got the out.
