On August 25, the Dodgers began a six-game road trip, starting with three against the Giants at Oracle Park. The Dodgers blew three save opportunities in the opener and lost, 10–8, on a walk-off homer by Donovan Solano. The Dodgers and Giants chose not to play on August 26, as a unified protest against the Jacob Blake shooting, instead playing a double-header of seven inning games on the 27th. In the first game of the doubleheader, Kershaw pitched six scoreless innings, striking out four batters as the Dodgers shut out the Giants 7–0. Joc Pederson homered and scored both runs as the Dodgers won 2–0 in the second game. The Dodgers next faced the Texas Rangers at Globe Life Field. The bullpen struggled in the opener and the Dodgers lost to the Rangers, 6–2. Bellinger and Muncy homered as the Dodgers evened the series with a 7–4 win the following day. The Dodgers wrapped up the road trip with a 7–2 win. Seager, Smith, and Bellinger each homered as the Dodgers set a new National League record with 57 home runs in a calendar month.
