"It hasn't gone well since then, as the Dodgers have scored only three runs in the last two games and gave up six in each game. Shohei Ohtani and Blake Snell did enough on the mound to keep the games within reach, but each left their starts with two runners on base and all four inherited runners scored. The Dodgers were finally playing to closer to their potential in September"
"Since then, he's been quite good. He's thrown back-to-back complete games, combining to allow two runs and seven hits over those 18 innings with 15 strikeouts and one walk (and a HBP). He's actually thrown fewer pitches in these complete games (111 and 105, respectively) than he did in his start against the Reds in the Wild Card round, where he needed 113 to get through 6 2/3."
The Dodgers won an 18-inning Game 3 to take a series lead and an opportunity to close out at home. Since then the Dodgers have scored three runs in the last two games while allowing six runs in each. Shohei Ohtani and Blake Snell left their starts with two runners on base and all four inherited runners scored. The Dodgers' offense and defense have reverted to bad habits and the bullpen has struggled. The team needs two road wins for the title. Yoshinobu Yamamoto has been dominant in recent starts, throwing back-to-back complete games with low walk totals and high strikeouts, though he had one short outing earlier and will be on five days' rest.
