Jack Flaherty threw seven scoreless innings, the deepest that a Dodger starter has gone in the postseason in three years. And that was a big piece of how the Dodgers tied the longest streak of consecutive scoreless postseason innings: 33 innings, tied with the 1966 Baltimore Orioles. This Dodgers pitching staff has been absolutely unbelievable.
And the Dodgers' bats also showed up today. Shohei Ohtani was 2-for-4 with two runs and an RBI; Mookie Betts as 1-for-4 with a eighth-inning three-RBI double; and Freddie Freeman was 2-for-3 with an RBI.
Max Muncy got the Dodgers on the board early with a two-RBI single on a shaky Kodai Senga (who had walked the bases loaded in the first, after getting Ohtani to ground out to second. Senga lasted only ten batters and four outs, yielding three runs despite the short leash.
But it was Harvard-Westlake's own Flaherty who was amazing tonight, snuffing out any Mets fires before they could even get a spark.
Day game tomorrow, so not a lot of time to rest! Let's get after it, Dodgers!

A-Rod keeps calling him "John Flaherty". What the heck, A-Rod? Is that the PEDs talking?
Flaherty: first Dodgers SP with 6+ IP in a postseason game since Max Scherzer in 2021
A-Rod was also the only guy to pick the Mets. F*ck that guy!
