Justin Wrobleski pitched a dominant 8-inning, 2-hit shutout as the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the New York Mets 4-0 on Monday night. Dodgers outfielder Andy Pages hit a 3-run homer in the 3rd inning to provide the offense. The loss was the Mets' 6th straight as their struggling offense was held scoreless for the 4th time this season.

Why it matters

The Dodgers' win extends their lead atop the NL West, while the Mets' losing streak drops them to the bottom of the NL East standings. Wrobleski's strong outing continues the Dodgers' strong pitching, while the Mets' offensive woes raise concerns about their ability to compete in the tough NL East.

Dodgers outfielder Shohei Ohtani extended his on-base streak to 47 games, tying a Dodgers record. Mets starter David Peterson struggled, walking 3 and giving up an RBI single to Will Smith before Pages' 3-run homer in the 3rd.
