When the Dodgers swept the Yankees in the 1963 World Series, manager Walter Alston used four pitchers. Total. In the whole Series.
Don Drysdale pitched a shutout, Sandy Koufax had two complete games and Johnny Podres needed reliever Ron Perranoski to get the final two outs in Game 2.
The Dodgers are just three games into this World Series and manager Dave Roberts has already gone to his bullpen 15 times. The only pitcher on the 12-man staff who hasn’t appeared against Houston is left-hander Alex Wood, who is scheduled to start Game 4 on Saturday.
