It's just playoff baseball. The truth of the matter is that the postseason is different than the regular season. It's about 90 feet and giving yourself... some of that was making sure Shohei had a chance to get up. To [Shohei's] and Tommy's credit, driving in those runs was huge. And Gavin getting the bunt down, Tommy getting the bunt down, it's just team baseball. If you can get a guy in scoring position, it just creates a little bit more stress.
A Dodgers team that led all of baseball with a .446 slugging percentage, ranked third with 233 home runs and had all of 10 sacrifice bunts in 162 regular-season games gave up two outs to advance runners on the basepaths. And guess what? The small-ball strategy worked, as both runners who moved up on bunts by No. 9 hitter Tommy Edman and No. 8 batter Gavin Lux scored.
