There haven’t been a ton of bright spots for the Dodgers thus far in the NLDS, especially on the offensive side of the ball. But one bright spot has been the bullpen, especially the play of breakout reliever Yency Almonte.
In his first career postseason, Almonte has been absolutely lights out. Almonte has faced five batters through the first three games. He’s struck all five out.
Almonte was one of the Dodgers’ best relievers this season, sporting a 1.02 ERA, a 0.79 WHIP and 33 strikeouts in 35.1 innings. However, Almonte went to the IL with an injury in August, and didn’t return until the end of September.
