The Los Angeles Dodgers are heading back to California with the World Series tied at 1-1. This is the best-case scenario after being thoroughly embarrassed in Game 1. The first loss of the series may have been a bit of karma, as Dave Roberts sent a bold message to MLB.

“Before this season started, they said the Dodgers are ruining baseball. Let’s get four more wins and really ruin baseball,” Roberts said on the air.

The Dodgers responded emphatically in Game 2, winning 5-1 on the road. Los Angeles didn’t want to return to California without a win in the series. It was an impressive showing from the starters, who also contributed to making MLB history.

“Tonight, Yoshinobu Yamamoto (20) and Kevin Gausman (17) became the first opposing starters in MLB postseason history to each retire 14+ consecutive batters in the same game,” Opta Stats wrote.

For the remainder of the series, all eyes will be on Andy Pages, as Roberts has already mentioned potentially benching him.

“Dave Roberts says he’s ‘keeping a close eye’ on Andy Pages and has considered making a change if his struggles continue,” Dodgers Blue posted.

During the game, Pages went down once again, worsening his already difficult postseason. A Dodgers writer sent a message to Roberts about him.

“Andy Pages grounds to second and is now 3-40 this postseason. It’s been time for a change,” Dodgers Nation’s Doug McKain posted.

Pages’ glove is exceptional, but his bat is currently hurting the Dodgers more than helping. In the World Series, there’s no time to struggle.

Pages needs to step up now, but it doesn’t look like that will be the case. The Dodgers have options to replace him in center field, so don’t be surprised if he isn’t in the starting lineup for Game 3.
