From the Athletic
When T.J. McFarland departed after notching two outs and a walk in the bottom of the ninth, the visiting bullpen at Dodger Stadium swung open. Out came Alex Reyes, the team’s sturdy closer who had carded a perfect save opportunity record in the first half of the season en route to his first career All-Star selection. The problem? Reyes had faltered miserably in the second half and lost his job in the process.
The last two times he had pitched the ninth in a clutch situation, it had resulted in walk-off home runs for the opposing team.
Wednesday night was no different.
Why make that move? What did Schilt say?
