Dodgers snap four-game losing streak behind Justin Wrobleski’s scoreless effort

May 3, 2026

ST. LOUIS — The Dodgers’ offense hasn’t offered its pitchers much support recently. Justin Wrobleski hasn’t needed much.

Wrobleski continued to make himself at home in the Dodgers’ starting rotation Sunday afternoon, holding the St. Louis Cardinals scoreless for six innings as the Dodgers snapped their four-game losing streak with a 4-1 victory.

Since joining the rotation as the sixth starter at the beginning of April, Wrobleski has been impeccable. He has allowed just two runs in 32 innings (an 0.56 ERA) while holding batters to a .190 average (22 for 116) with just four extra-base hits (all doubles).

The Dodgers have won all five of his starts.

Sunday’s start fit the template Wrobleski has established — throw strikes, work fast and don’t be afraid of contact. He didn’t strike out a batter (and has just 13 strikeouts in his five starts), had just four swings-and-misses on 44 swings and got through his six innings on a compact 83 pitches.

It wasn’t without traffic. The Cardinals put runners at the corners with two outs in the second inning but Dalton Rushing threw Nathan Church out trying to steal second base to end that inning.

Wrobleski made his own trouble in the third inning, again putting two runners on with two outs. This time, it was his error while covering first base and a walk that created a scoring opportunity for the Cardinals. Wrobleski took it away when he got Jordan Walker to ground out.

Again in the fourth, Wrobleski retired the first two batters then put two on. Back-to-back singles by Jose Fermin and Church were rendered harmless when Pedro Pages flew out to left field.

Wrobleski did most of his work with a lead — the Dodgers’ first since Monday.

Kyle Tucker led off the second inning with a double. Max Muncy worked a walk against Cardinals starter Dustin May to put two runners on with no outs.

After Dalton Rushing struck out, Andy Pages doubled to left, driving in Tucker. Hyeseong Kim followed with a ground ball through the right side for an RBI single.

With runners at the corners, Alex Freeland bounced into a double play – bringing back a frustrating piece of Saturday’s loss. The Dodgers hit into four double plays in the first five innings Saturday. Sunday, it was three double plays in the first four innings and four total.

They got to May again in the fifth inning, though, when Kim led off with a single, moved to second on a ground out and scored on a two-out RBI single by Freddie Freeman.

It was the first time since Monday’s walkoff win over the Miami Marlins that the Dodgers managed to push across a third run in a game.

The Cardinals cut into the 3-0 lead with a run in the eighth inning off Will Klein. Klein walked Jordan Walker with two outs and Walker scored from first on Alec Burleson’s single to center field, bobbled by Andy Pages.

But the Dodgers matched it in the ninth on Alex Call’s pinch-hit RBI single, giving Tanner Scott a little more margin for error. He closed it out with a 1-2-3 ninth.
