Description
On this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, the Dodgers won two of three over the Mets in New York in the NLCS, and now need just one more win to get back to the World Series.
Every game of the NLCS has been decided by four or more runs, and the Dodgers were on the positive side of that in big wins in Games 3 and 4 at Citi Field. Max Muncy reached base in 12 consecutive plate appearances to set a major league record for one postseason. Mookie Betts had a 4-hit, 4-RBI game in Game 4, and the Dodgers got effective starts by Walker Buehler and Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
Jack Flaherty could not repeat his Game 1 performance in Game 5, and was blasted for eight runs in three innings. The game got away in a five-run third inning, in which Dave Roberts had to navigate when to use high-leverage relievers versus saving them for back home for Game 6 (with more rest) and potentially Game 7.
Those are the kind of decisions a team can make when up 3-1 in a series, but now the Dodgers are up 3-2. But most importantly, they still lead the NLCS, and have two chances to win one game at Dodger Stadium to get back to the World Series.
