In July 2025, the Los Angeles Dodgers suffered their worst loss ever in Dodger Stadium, an 18-1 blowout at the hands of the Houston Astros. The 17-run loss marked the Dodgers' largest margin of defeat at home since the team moved to Dodger Stadium in 1962, and the franchise's worst home loss since July 3, 1947, when Brooklyn lost 19-2 to the New York Giants.
