The Dodgers waste another strong start from Tyler Glasnow as Brock Stewart gives up go-ahead run in the ninth.
The hitter the Dodgers have been waiting for returned Monday. The offense, as a whole, remains a work in progress.
Max Muncy was activated onto the roster and into the starting lineup after spending a month away with a bone bruise in his left knee, but hits remained hard to come by in a 3-2 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals.
Freddie Freeman is at least coming to life with his third home run in the past five games after going his first 23 games of July without one.
But the Dodgers managed just three hits all night and looked a lot like the team that went 10-16 while Muncy was out of action.
On the mound, Tyler Glasnow wobbled through the second inning when he gave up a home run to Masyn Winn, but otherwise dominated by retiring 17 of the last 18 batters he faced following a walk to Pedro Pages in the second.
Glasnow was left with a no-decision despite allowing one run on three hits with two walks and seven strikeouts in his seven innings of work.
The Cardinals went to work against the Dodgers’ bullpen first when Ivan Herrera hit a home run against Anthony Banda in the eighth for a 2-1 lead.
