Dave Roberts is a win away from his fifth 100-win campaign in seven full seasons as the Dodgers manager.
had violated the shift restrictions. Lynn would issue a pair of sixth-inning walks after the call was overturned, then induced an inning-ending double play, gesturing to the Giants dugout as he harrumphed and waltzed off the mound.
Roberts said he didn’t have a problem with Correa digging into the new chapter of the rulebook on his first day in the interim role.Rojas was surprised. “I’ve been playing like that the whole year,” Rojas said, admitting his heel was probably on the lip of the infield grass. “It’s kind of a desperate move to go challenge those plays. I don’t think it’s right. Because we’re all playing the same game. Their shortstop is doing kind of the same thing. Kind of a smart move there. But what can we do?
“I’m glad it happened that way so going forward, going into what really matters, winning games in the postseason, I don’t commit that mistake again.”Ultimately, it was nothing more than a reminder in a game that meant little other than filling out another date and some more tickets in the Oracle Park till. The only real carrot in front of the Dodgers is some round numbers. Winning 100 games means something.
The Giants exited with questions left unanswered about the short- and long-term future of their on-field product. The Dodgers are just trying to get through this final weekend without any more scares like the one they got in the seventh inning when Rojas got hit by a pitch on his left hand and exited with a contusion. Roberts said X-rays were negative; Rojas will undergo further testing on Saturday.A reminder this strong campaign could be taken away.
