Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Kyle Tucker continued to struggle during Monday's 11-5 win over the Colorado Rockies and the 29-year-old has run out of answers about how to fix his disastrous season.

"I don't really know," Tucker said, according to The California Post's Jack Harris. "If I knew, I'd probably have figured it out by now."

Tucker went 0-for-5 and failed to catch a fly ball in the seventh inning.

The outfielder hasn't recorded a hit since Aug. 9 and owns a .692 OPS this season after signing a four-year, $240-million contract in January.

"I feel like I've tried just about everything. And every time I feel like I'm turning a corner, I get hit with a roadblock."

Tucker has been particularly bad at home this season, where he owns a .189/.286/.272 slash line with two homers and three stolen bases.

Tucker's been so bad at home that Dodgers manager Dave Roberts gave him a day off Saturday to mentally reset. Tucker followed that up with an 0-for-3 performance at Chavez Ravine on Sunday before pushing his hitless streak to 25 at-bats Monday in Colorado.

While the four-time All-Star doesn't have a solution to fix his rocky production, he's trying to keep a positive outlook.

"You just got to keep going, try and at least pick out the positives, and just try and ride with that," Tucker said. "Just keep on moving to the next day and hope for something to build on."
