Edwin Diaz Captures Shaky Save vs. Brewers to Even Up NLCS Rematch
Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts did not waver in his support for Edwin Diaz, and the skipper was rewarded.
The Los Angeles Dodgers secured a 3-1 victory against the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday, August 14th, narrowing the gap in their National League Championship Series (NLCS) matchup. Manager Dave Roberts stood by his decision to keep Edwin Diaz in the game, and the pitcher delivered a crucial save in the ninth inning.
