The Los Angeles Dodgers weren’t supposed to have one of the best starting rotations in the postseason but don’t tell them that.
Jack Flaherty and Yoshinobu Yamamoto also accomplished something in the first two games of the World Series against the New York Yankees that hadn’t been done in five years.
Flaherty (5.1 innings in Game 1) and Yamamoto (6.1 innings in Game 2) provided the Dodgers with their first back-to-back starts of at least six innings since the 2019 National League Division Series when Clayton Kershaw and Walker Buehler achieved the feat in Games 1 and 2.
