On this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, the Dodgers finished the job at home, beating the Mets in Game 6 of the NLCS to clinch their first pennant at Dodger Stadium since 1988. The Dodgers deployed a bullpen game in Game 6, relying on all high-leverage relievers to cover all nine innings. Four pitchers recorded more than three outs, and Blake Treinen closed out the win in the final two innings. Bulk reliever Brent Honeywell was an unsung hero as well, eating innings in Games 2 and 5 to keep the others fresh. LA’s offense provided the cover with another double-digit outburst, led by surprise NLCS MVP Tommy Edman, who tied Dodgers records with 11 hits and 11 RBI during the series. Shohei Ohtani and Max Muncy each set Dodgers records by reaching base 17 times. As a team, the Dodgers walked more in the NLCS than any team in postseason series, and had the highest-scoring series by any National League team ever. Now, it’s on to face the Yankees in the World Series, which will begin Friday at Dodger Stadium. The Three-Inning Save is part of the Fans First Sports Network. Hosted by Eric Stephen and Jacob Burch, with questions from Craig Minami. Produced by Brian Salvatore. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
