Dodgers News: Dave Roberts Explains Pedro Baez Decision, Overall Bullpen Usage In Game 2 Loss To Braves

The National League Championship Series has not gotten off to a great start for the Los Angeles Dodgers as they find themselves down 2-0 to the Atlanta Braves.

For the second straight night, the Dodgers’ bullpen faltered and the offense didn’t get going until it was too late, resulting in an 8-7 loss in Game 2.

The fifth inning is really when things got out of control for L.A. with the Braves scoring four runs to extend their lead to 6-0. It was clear that Tony Gonsolin was running out of gas when he walked two and allowed an RBI double before giving way to the bullpen.
