Star Shohei Ohtani cost the Dodgers two runners on with two out in the fifth inning, as he elected to attempt to steal third without his manager Dave Roberts' blessing. He was out with Freddie Freeman at the plate. Roberts was asked about it after the game, and had some blunt words for the media:

The loss was so frustrating that it drove some rare criticism from manager Dave Roberts pointed at two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani, who is typically spared from any negativity by the manager. Roberts was clear that Ohtani was to blame for trying to steal a base with two outs in the sixth inning and Freddie Freeman at the plate.

Blake Treinen and Alex Vesia gave up three homers in the span of six batters and Shohei Ohtani strikes out at a critical moment in a 5-4 loss to Toronto.
