than his fastball.

It has been a steady diet of sliders and sweepers, curveballs and changeups and the Dodgers have scored just eight runs on 29 hits over 36 1/3 innings against that six-pack of pitchers — and they have lost four of the six games.

Gray’s fastball touched 94 mph three times, all during a fifth-inning at-bat against Mookie Betts — he popped out. His six-pitch mix – four-seam fastball, sinking two-seamer, slider, cutter, curveball, changeup – generated 16 swings-and-misses among his 90 pitches in 6 1/3 innings.

“I don’t know. That’s, like, really deep,” Betts when asked about the game plan among opposing pitchers recently. “I haven’t paid that much attention to what they’re doing to us as a team. It’s hard enough to take care of my own stuff. I know regardless we have to have better team approach especially with guys in scoring position. But that’s part of the game.”

It’s a part of the game the Dodgers have been very good at this season. They came into the game leading the majors with a .313 average with runners in scoring position but went 1 for 10 in those situations against Gray and 1 for 13 in the game.

“I thought we put some hits together. We had 10, 11 hits,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “With runners in scoring position, there was a little more chase. You could see they went soft in those spots. I think we expanded a little bit. One part of the equation is getting on base. The other part is driving them in.

“We’re a really good fastball-hitting team and when there’s stress teams are showing that they’re getting us to chase down below. ... It’s really trying to lock into your zone and not expanding. That’s a big part of hitting and that’s a hard part of hitting. But we’re going to have to continue to get better.”

Betts doubled with one out in the first inning but was stranded there. Andy Pages and Michael Conforto singled in the second inning but were stranded at the corners. Shohei Ohtani and Betts led off the third with singles but never advanced. Teoscar Hernandez doubled with out in the sixth and went to third on Pages’ infield single in the sixth. They were stranded.

Dodgers spot starter Justin Wrobleski was less adept at wriggling away from dangerous situations.

He gave up a two-out, two-run home run to Pedro Pages in the second inning, then walked two in the fifth to set up Brendan Donovan’s two-out, two-run single.

“I thought I threw the ball well for the most part. I had one inning where i kind of got out of sync,” said Wrobleski who completed six innings for the first time in the majors and threw a career-high 104 pitches. “Other than that, I thought I threw the ball well and made some improvements, kind of got back to myself, getting back to how I pitch. All in all, I’m pretty happy with the way the process was today. I think just as easily as it was four runs it could have been zero.”
