Dodgers beat Angels 6-0 as bullpen steps in after Blake Snell injury
Andy Pages sparked a three‑run homer, followed by Max Muncy’s solo shot and Teoscar Hernández’s two‑run blast as the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Los Angeles Angels 6‑0 on May 15, 2026. The win gave the defending World Series champions their first three‑game streak of the month.
After two‑time Cy Young winner Blake Snell was placed on the injured list with loose bodies in his left elbow, the Dodgers opened a bullpen game. Will Klein threw two scoreless innings as the opener, and seven additional relievers each worked a single inning, combining for a two‑hit effort that secured the shutout. Edgardo Henriquez earned the victory, and Charlie Barnes closed with a hitless ninth in his debut.
The injury to Snell follows a recent back‑spasm IL stint for fellow starter Tyler Glasnow, leaving the rotation in flux. Pitching coach Mark Prior said the staff will “figure it out on the fly,” possibly using more bullpen games until the rotation stabilizes.
The Dodgers improved to 27‑18, while the Angels fell to a four‑game losing streak after failing to advance a runner past second base.
