World Series: Dodgers eye sweep with, yes, a bullpen game

NEW YORK -- For decades, the Los Angeles Dodgers were known for superstar starting pitchers.

These pitchers remain so indelible that surnames largely suffice: Koufax, Drysdale, Valenzuela, Hershiser, Kershaw, all of whom made World Series starts for championship Dodgers teams.

The Dodgers' 4-2 win in Game 3 of the 2024 World Series on Monday put them on the cusp of another championship, with a historically insurmountable three games to none headlock on the New York Yankees. L.A. can clinch in Game 4 on Tuesday -- traditionally a tremendous opportunity in the career of an ambitious starting pitcher.
