As is usually the case with a 16-inning game, the impact goes much deeper than the results of the contest itself. For the Dodgers and Cardinals, after the pitcher usage of Friday night, will have the rest of their weekend series affected. The Dodgers' bullpen is especially taxed after its unprecedented use of pitchers over the last two days.
After Julio Urias lasted four innings in his spot start Thursday in Washington D.C., the Dodgers used seven relief pitchers for the final five innings. They used eight relievers on Friday night, including starter Bud Norris for the final two.
