The LA Dodgers won the World Series in 6 games, defeating the Tampa Bay Rays 3-1 in the decisive game last night.
Kevin Cash decided to pull Blake Snell,and the Dodgers were hungry sharks, they smelled blood in the water.
Super reliever Nick Anderson came into relive Blake Snell in the bottom of the 6th inning, leading the Dodgers to a 2 run turnaround lead in the game.
Pete Fairbanks surrendered a sole home run to Mookie Betts in the 8th inning to seal the deal but the secret to this game was not the long ball Dodgers, but the strike out Dodgers.
LA pitching struck out 16 Tampa batters, using 7 Dodger pitchers starting with Tony Gonsolin, ending up with Julio Urias, who fanned 4 in 2 1 rd innings to complete the task.
It has been since 1988, when the Bulldog Orel Hershiser pitched 2 complete game victories on his way to becoming Series MVP.
The one downer was Justin Turner's removal from the game due to a positive Covid test, but one hopes he will recover in time to make the ticker tape parade, or at least a visit to the White House, haha.
Corey Seager won the WS MVP honors after batting .400 and 2 WS home runs.
Well that's it for baseball this year, i certainly hope for Covid free spring training, but I fear we shall have to bubble again, like we did last summer. 🙏
