Dave Roberts recently joked that Shohei Ohtani should gift Roberts a Porsche when Ohtani breaks his Dodgers' record for most home runs by a Japanese-born player. Ohtani obliged, just maybe not in the way Roberts imagined. Before Friday's game against the Atlanta Braves, the Dodgers' slugger gifted Roberts a purple toy model Porsche in his office.
The Dodgers are nowhere near having their full complement of relievers. At least in the near future, situations similar to Tuesday might not be all that rare.
The Los Angeles Dodgers bullpen has been an unexpected weakness this season due to a combination of injuries and inconsistencies. Ryan Brasier and Joe Kelly are among the pitchers who have underperformed after being key contributors for the team last year. Both pitchers struggled in the Dodgers' 6-4 loss to the New York Mets on Saturday as Brasier gave up a go-ahead three-run homer to Starling Marte and Joe Kelly allowed two of the three batters he faced to reach base.
