As Dodgers starter Walker Buehler exits the game to be replaced by Brusdar Graterol, let’s take a look at the state of LA’s bullpen.
Through the first two games, the Dodgers’ bullpen has been plenty effective. Through 7 1/3 innings, Dodgers relievers have allowed only two runs, each of which came in the ninth inning of Game 2. Those runs came off closer Blake Treinen, who also has four strikeouts in two innings of work. No other Dodgers reliever has been charged with a run, though Anthony Banda has put quite a few guys on base. It’s been an effective group, but the challenge gets harder from here.
