Ryan Pepiot pitched a one-run, five-hit, four-strikeout six inning effort as the Dodgers rallied to walk it off against the Detroit Tigers 3-2 on Tuesday.
The Dodgers are in a race for World Series home-field advantage despite being all but certain as the National League No. 2 seed behind the Braves, giving L.A. a bye into the NLDS.Martinez also hit a towering solo homer to center in the fourth, his third in two nights and 29th of the season. The designated hitter is batting .395 with four homers and 14 RBIs in 10 games since returning from the injured list on Sept. 8.
But he and the front office warmed to the idea in subsequent years, so much so that the Dodgers used relievers Corey Knebel and Graterol as openers for 20-game winner Julio Urías in the fifth and deciding game of the 2021 National League Division Series, a 2-1 Dodgers victory in San Francisco that was closed by starter Max Scherzer.
“In theory, on paper, things can make sense, but if there’s not a buy-in, then it’s moot,” Roberts said. “When you talk to guys who have been around, Clayton or Lance or Walker Buehler, those are harder conversations because they’re wired in a certain way, where they’ve had success. But the younger players, it’s a different culture where industry-wide they’re doing it more often. So it’s just more familiar.
“Yeah, I think it’s the neutrality,” Roberts said. “It’s also appreciating the fact that you’re gonna face the first three or four hitters of the lineup, that you feel comfortable that you can get through the first inning to give some runway to that next guy.
