In NLCS Game 1, Dave Roberts opted to pull starter Blake Snell after eight innings and took some heat for it. Thankfully, he didn't invite the same scrutiny in Game 2, when he let Yoshinobu Yamamoto ride it out.
Yamamoto had given up just one run all night — a first-pitch leadoff homer to Jackson Chourio to give the Brewers an instantaneous lead — but he went on to blank Milwaukee through the rest of the game as the Dodgers put up five runs in support of their starter. When the eighth inning wrapped, Yamamoto had thrown 97 pitches.
