With the National League West division title locked up and a spot already secured in the NL Division Series, the Los Angeles Dodgers don't have much to play for in their remaining games, but it's an opportunity for some players to make their case for the postseason roster. The team already has their 13 position players set, barring any unforeseen circumstances, but Dodgers manager Dave Roberts has indicated the pitching staff is still being discussed. While there may be an opening for the final spot on the staff, one player who appears locked into a postseason role is Ryan Pepiot. The right-hander missed much of the season with an oblique/intercostal injury, but since returning has been arguably the Dodgers' best pitcher.
The Dodgers led for no part of this game until they actually won it with a walk-off hit from Max Muncy, driving in Mookie Betts on a two-out single to win it 3-2. Muncy's nine-game hitting streak was in danger after going hitless in his first four at-bats. It was a low scoring affair as Ryan Pepiot dominated the Tigers, coming on after Caleb Ferguson allowed a solo homer in the opening frame. The Dodgers found it tough to drive in runs off the Tigers' bullpen for most of this one, but a couple of late runs were enough to secure the victory.
The Dodgers struggled against Padres ace Blake Snell, who gave up one hit, one walk and fanned eight batters in San Diego's 6-1 victory on Wednesday night at Dodger Stadium.
