The Dodgers had one of the worst relief corps in the major leagues, but the group has been as good as anybody in the last three months.
Ryan Brasier, who had a 7.29 ERA in 20 games with the Boston Red Sox this season, helped stabilize the Dodgers bullpen. He has an ERA of 0.70 in 39 games with L.A.relief corps was reeling in mid-June, with back-to-back shellackings at the hands of the San Francisco Giants exacerbating the struggles of an already ailing bullpen., the bullpen following the right-hander’s six no-hit innings by giving up six earned runs in five innings of a 7-5, 11-inning loss on June 16.
But Brasier could still run his fastball up to 98 mph, he had a new cut-fastball to neutralize left-handed hitters and a track record of postseason success, having set up Craig Kimbrel in Boston’s run to the 2018 World Series title. The following night, in a planned bullpen game, seven Dodgers relievers combined on a two-hit shutout to offset Angels ace Shohei Ohtani’s seven innings of one-run, five-hit, 12-strikeout ball, with Brasier recording four straight outs in his Dodgers debut.
“I think the arrival of Ryan Brasier and with Brusdar doing his thing, me settling into the ninth inning, has allowed guys to pitch in their most advantageous spots and flourish,” Phillips said. “Earlier this year, we were kind of searching for what matchup works best, and day to day was a bit of a mishmash of what we were going to get.”Clayton Kershaw is no longer an overwhelming force, but his start Saturday against the Giants showed why he is set to pitch Game 1 of the NLDS for the Dodgers.
“They’ve just really found themselves, and they’re available whenever needed,” Roberts said. “They fill up the strike zone, there’s swing-and-miss when there needs to be, there’s not a lot of walk in there. In the second half, I think we’ve been as good as anybody in baseball.”, and it will play a much bigger role this October for a team that has traditionally leaned heavily on its rotation.
Joe Kelly “adds a layer of intimidation to our bullpen,” says Dodgers assistant pitching coach Connor McGuiness. Kelly has appeared in 40 postseason games in his career.
