The Los Angeles Dodgers continued their recent struggles Tuesday night with an ugly 10-7 loss at home to the Minnesota Twins. It was their 11th loss in their last 14 games and one ugly play in the top of the seventh inning summed up how things have been going for them lately.
The Twins had the bases loaded with one out when Royce Lewis hit a slow grounder up the first base line. Dodgers reliever Edgardo Henriquez ran over and scooped up the ball and then turned a made a horrible throw to first.

How bad was it? The ball ended up bouncing off the wall in deep right field, which allowed three runs to score and sent Lewis all the way to third base.
This was something straight out of a Little League game:

"Oooh boy... 58 mph off of the bat, and it cleared the bases with that throw... We came on the air talking about how crisp last night was. Well-rounded. The kind of game that they'd been waiting to play. This is ugly." ⚾️🎙️ #MLB https://t.co/n6SZ7GwAql pic.twitter.com/xn1Rvo0cdA

“Tonight, it just wasn’t pretty,” manager Dave Roberts told reporters after the game. “When you’re walking guys and the defense is spotty and things like that, it wasn’t a good one.”
It certainly wasn't.
