Snell had 10 strikeouts over eight scoreless innings in Game 1
on Oct. 13. He became the first Dodgers pitcher to complete
eight innings while allowing one hit or fewer in a postseason
game.
Yamamoto pitched a three-hitter in Game 2 with the first Dodgers
postseason complete game since 2004.
Roberts said the team hasn't decided on starters for Games 3 and
4, which will be back at Dodger Stadium, but indicated Tyler
Glasnow and Shohei Ohtani could follow in that order.
“I think we’re going to run the same rotation back, I think for
sure for the first two,” he said.
Ohtani had 10 strikeouts and hit three home runs in Game 4 to
clinch a second straight trip to the World Series. Ohtani was
selected MVP of the series.
Dodgers starters combined for 35 strikeouts in the NLCS. Snell,
Yamamoto, Glasnow and Ohtani posted a 0.63 ERA against the
Brewers, with two earned runs in 28 2/3 innings.
Roberts said the bullpen lineup is still being discussed, with
the Blue Jays’ lineup featuring some right-handed power hitters
that the Dodgers didn’t have to contend with previously.
“There’s one spot that we could potentially kind of debate, and
will continue to debate,” Roberts said. “Outside of that one
spot, it’s probably going to look exactly the same.”
Reliever Tanner Scott is eligible for the World Series roster
after being removed from the NL Division Series roster. He had
an emergency surgical procedure and said he is feeling good now.
“It's just kind of trying to get a grasp on the doctors giving
him the full kind of green light, the go-ahead,” Roberts said.
“I know that he's anxious, which is a good thing, but
fortunately, we get to see for a couple more days how he
responds to throwing and bullpens and things like that.”
