The loss was so frustrating that it drove some rare criticism from manager Dave Roberts pointed at two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani, who is typically spared from any negativity by the manager. Roberts was clear that Ohtani was to blame for trying to steal a base with two outs in the sixth inning and Freddie Freeman at the plate.

Relievers Blake Treinen and Alex Vesia gave up three solo homers in the span of six batters and Shohei Ohtani strikes out in a critical moment in a 5-4 loss to Toronto.
