NEW YORK — The Dodgers have walked a tightrope this postseason with their bullpen, and while they’ve gotten within one game of winning the World Series with that strategy, things didn’t go their way in their latest postseason bullpen game in Game 4.
“It’s challenging,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said after his team’s 11-4 loss to the Yankees.
Rookie Ben Casparius was the man chosen to be the team’s opener on Tuesday against the Yankees, and while he allowed just one run in his two innings, his three walks created plenty of high-stress pitches, which turned out to be the theme of the early innings for the Dodgers' arms.
