The Dodgers haven't allowed a run in a record-tying 33 postseason innings. But Jack Flaherty on Sunday provided them something they hadn't gotten since their 2020 World Series run.
LOS ANGELES — Before Jack Flaherty took the mound Sunday night, he noticed his mom taking her seat behind home plate. In the crowd, a group of his lifelong friends from Sherman Oaks Little League offered their support. Entering his second playoff start with his childhood team, he felt at ease.
Prior to Flaherty's masterpiece, the Dodgers had not gotten even six innings from a starting pitcher in their previous 20 playoff games. The last one to do it was Max Scherzer in Game 3 of the 2021 NLDS. That year, the Dodgers also staved off elimination against a division foe by winning back-to-back do-or-die games in the NLDS to advance. But they had also exhausted all their energy battling back. They followed by dropping the first two games of the NLCS to the Braves.
