Amid national backlash for honoring the anti-Catholic hate group the “Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence” (SPI), the Los Angeles Dodgers lost badly in the game that followed their controversial move.
The San Francisco Giants “routed the slumping Los Angeles Dodgers 15-0 on Saturday night for their season-high sixth straight victory,” ESPN reported:
It was the Giants’ largest margin of victory over their NL West rival since a 19-3 win on Sept. 14, 2013. It also matches the worst home shutout loss in Dodgers history, which came in 1898 against Pittsburgh when the team was based in Brooklyn.
The Dodgers’ Friday loss came hours after they conferred a “Community Hero Award” to the “Sisters.”
The Dodgers had indicated they would grant the award during the game as part of the pageantry of the team’s “Pride Night.” Catholic leaders condemned the decision in the weeks leading up to the event. The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops called on America’s Catholics to pray in reparation for blasphemies like those performed by SPI.
