Wrobo Deals Goose Eggs as Dodgers Shut Down Mets, 4-0

Justin Wrobleski isn’t exactly out there hunting strikeouts — and on this night, he didn’t need to be.

Two strikeouts. Zero walks. Eight dominant innings.

Turns out, when you locate, stay efficient, and face a lineup that’s searching for answers, the ball tends to find gloves. Wrobleski kept the Mets off balance all night, allowing just two singles and nothing resembling hard contact. No extra-base hits, no sustained threats — just a steady stream of soft outs.

After the game, Dave Roberts summed it up simply, “I can't say enough about what he’s done for us. He limited the hard contact… made them chase… put it on the ground, created soft contact and worked with efficiency. Those are things that help a championship team win games.”

That efficiency showed up everywhere. Wrobleski needed just 90 pitches to get through a career-high eight innings, becoming the first Dodgers starter this season to record an out in the seventh — and then some.

The offense didn’t need much to support him, but Andy Pages made sure there was breathing room anyway. His third-inning, three-run shot — scoring Kyle Tucker and Freddie Freeman — was less a turning point and more an early declaration that this one wasn’t going to get complicated.

And then there’s Shohei Ohtani.

With all due seriousness (or as much as can be mustered here), Ohtani was drilled between the shoulder blades in the first inning…and naturally extended his on-base streak to 47 games. At this point, it feels less like a streak and more like an inevitability.

For those wondering, no — Edwin Díaz wasn’t being held out for dramatic effect. Roberts confirmed he was available, but with no save situation materializing, it was Tanner Scott who handled the ninth and slammed the door.

The Mets, meanwhile, continued their search for offense. Now losers of six straight, they’ve struggled to generate anything resembling momentum, managing just two hits against Wrobleski and rarely threatening to change the script.

In the end, the Dodgers did what good teams do — they kept it clean, kept it simple, and let the other side make it difficult on themselves.

Wrobleski handled the rest.

“If one night can raise questions, the next can erase them just as quickly.”
