With a 3-1 win over the Rays in Game 6 on Tuesday night, the Los Angeles Dodgers captured their first championship since 1988. The most consistent MLB team of the past decade finally got over the hump! The Dodgers roster included catcher Austin Barnes (.320/.393/.440 in 29 PA this postseason), a former Marlins draft pick, and super-utility player Kiké Hernández (.214/.290/.464 in 31 PA), who had a brief tenure with the Fish in 2014. Congrats to them.
Although the 2020 season made it to the finish line amidst a pandemic, the “bubble” was pierced—moments after the final out, the FOX broadcast confirmed that Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner tested positive for COVID-19.
