In 41 games since May 1, the Dodgers have lost eight games in which they had a lead and five others in which they were tied (not counting 0-0 games).
The Dodgers have won four games after they lost a lead in that span (and, of course, rallied from other deficits).
Of the 13 games that the Dodgers lost after leading or being tied, the bullpen earned part or all of the blame in eight of them.
Only once in the 41 games since May 1 have the Dodgers surrendered a lead of more than one run and lost, on June 9 in Colorado.
