The Los Angeles Dodgers faced a must-win Game 6 Friday, down 3-2 to the Toronto Blue Jays in the World Series. Los Angeles had Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the mound again after the second-year starter threw back-to-back complete games. But Dave Roberts pulled Yamamoto in the sixth inning, trusting his bullpen with the Dodgers\u2019 season on the line.The gamble paid off. LA\u2019s relievers protected a 3-1 lead through three innings. And Roberts pressed all the right buttons, bringing in Tyler Glasnow to close out the game. The Dodgers won on a wild game-ending 7-4 double play, sending the World Series to a decisive Game 7.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is do or die. You\u2019ve gotta leave it all out there and pick up the pieces,\u201d Roberts told Ken Rosenthal after the Game 6 victory, per FOX Sports: MLB. \u201cFrom Yamamoto to what [Justin Wrobleski] did tonight. We got hits when we needed to, Mookie came up big. Man, we live for Game 7, so here we go!\u201d the veteran manager added.<\/p>\n

\n

Game 6 ends in a double play for the ages!<\/p>\n

Dave Roberts confident in bullpen after Game 6 win<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Despite being down in the series, Freddie Freeman was confident the Dodgers could make a comeback. Mookie Betts had his first multi-RBI game since the Wild Card Series against the Cincinnati Reds. And the team\u00a0went 2-6 with runners in scoring position<\/p>\n

But pitching was the story of the night for LA. Roberts pulled Yamamoto after 96 pitches. Wrobleski relieved the Dodgers\u2019 ace in the seventh inning before passing the baton to Roki Sasaki in the eighth.<\/p>\n

When Sasaki ran into trouble early in the ninth inning, Roberts went to Glasnow.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just felt right there, Roki wasn\u2019t as sharp\u2026 [Glasnow] is a guy that has swing-and-miss stuff and I just wanted to bet on him. He\u2019s been champing at the bit to make an impact,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Roberts also confirmed that Shohei Ohtani would be \u201cpart of the pitching plan\u201d for Game 7. \u201cWith Shohei it could be two innings but it could be four innings. So I\u2019m not sure where we\u2019re gonna slot him. We\u2019re gonna have to talk to him first and see where he\u2019s most comfortable,\u201d Roberts said.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
