Jonathan Daniel/Getty ImagesThe Los Angeles Dodgers are heading to the World Series after beatingtheMilwaukee Brewers 5-1 in Game 7 of the National League Championship Series at Miller Park on Saturday.Cody Bellinger gave the Dodgers a lead with a two-run home run in the second inning http://www.angelsfanproshop.com/authentic-mike-trout-jersey , and Yasiel Puig provided breathing room with a three-run shot in the sixth. Walker Buehler allowed just one run while striking out seven in 4.2 frames for Los Angeles.Christian Yelich homered for Milwaukee.Walker Buehler Proves to Be Big-Game PitcherPitching a Game 7 with a trip to the World Series on the line has the potential to rattle a hurler.After Saturday's result, it seems the 24-year-old Buehler has ice in his veins.After going 8-5 with a 2.62 ERA in 24 games as a rookie, Buehler got roughed up in his first few playoff starts. Control problems got the best of him in his postseason debut, as he issued three walks in an inning and then allowed a grand slam against the Atlanta Braves in Game 3 of the National League Division Series. He settled in after that, finishing with seven strikeouts and two hits allowed in five innings, but the damage had been done.In his next start, Game 3 of the NLCS, Buehler gave Los Angeles six innings of two-run baseball before he surrendered a two-run shot in the seventh. Then again, his offense gave him no support in that 4-0 loss.It would've been understandable for Dodgers skipper Dave Roberts to have had concerns about Buehler in an elimination game, given how the rookie's first two postseason outings went. However, the right-hander has proved he can come up big.Buehler got the ball as the Dodgers battled the Colorado Rockies for the NL West crown in Game No. 163earlier this month. All he did was take a no-hitter into the sixth on his way to throwing 6.2 innings of one-hit shutout baseball to help his team win the division and avoid the Wild Card Game.Saturday night's contest didn't start smoothly, as he allowed a first-inning home run to possible NL MVP Christian Yelich. However, he subsequently kept the Brewers off the board until he exited with two outs in the fifth inning.Los Angeles Dodgers Dodgers98 mph. 馃敟 iUAe175j4mGiven that it was just a one-run difference while Buehler was in the game, he had zero margin for error鈥攁nd he came up clutch. Roberts had a short leash, but it marked the second time Buehler has answered the call in a win-or-else scenario.Regardless of the postseason narrative surrounding Clayton Kershaw, the three-time Cy Young Award winner will anchor the team's World Series rotation. The Dodgers will need more than just Kershaw, though, to take down the Boston Red Sox.Hyun-Jin Ryu was solid in each of his first two postseason starts, and Rich Hill provided quality, albeit short, outings as well.In Buehler, Los Angeles has a right-hander who could make life hard on right-handed Boston stars J.D. Martinez and Mookie Betts. Not only that Kole Calhoun Jersey , but Buehler has also shown Roberts that he doesn't always let the moment get to him. Brewers' Dependance on Bullpen Proves CostlyMilwaukee's relieversrankedsecond in the National League in ERA. However, the team's bullpen dependance caught up to it.Jhoulys Chacin gave the Brewers a solid No. 1 option in October, as he allowed just one run on seven hits in 16 innings over three starts, including the one-game playoff for the NL Central title. Wade Miley also provided quality outings, allowing just two runs in 14.2 frames.Although Chacin and Miley each gave his team a chance to win, neither completed six innings in any October start. Not only that, but Milwaukee manager Craig Counsell also opted for bullpen games at timesbecause of the lack of rotation depth. As a result, the relievers had to eat a lot of innings after having already thrown the fifth-most regular-season frames.Most notably,Jeremy Jeffress had a rough playoff run after a stellar year. The 31-year-old posted a 1.29 ERA in 76.2 innings over 73 appearances, making his first All-Star team. However, he allowed six runs in nine playoff innings.The right-hander pitched in eight of the team's 10 postseason games and allowed multiple hits in an outing seven times.Jeffress was not the only Brewers reliever to be called upon frequently during this postseason, though. Five relievers made six-plus appearances. Of that group,Corbin Burnes (30) was the only one who failed to pitch in at least 55 games during the year.Utilizing a shutdown bullpen got the Brewers to this point, so it's hard to blame Counsell for sticking with what worked. They would have benefited from less usage of their relievers for when the pressure turned up, though. Dodgers Can Match Red Sox Offense with Timely Big HitsThere aren't many teams that can match Boston's offensive firepower, but Los Angeles has a formidable lineup.The Dodgersrankedsecond only to the record-setting New York Yankees with 235 dingers. They had10players reach double digits, with seven mashing at least 20 apiece. Home Run Derby contestant Max Muncy led with 35.While power can help pile up wins during the year, the postseason is all about timely hitting. And Los Angeles proved to be more than capable of that.Miller Park was rocking early after Yelich homered in the bottom of the first. However, the Dodgers silenced the crowd with a leadoff single in the top of the second followed by Bellinger's blast.Later, Los Angeles put the first two on against the Milwaukee bullpen in the sixth. It appeared as though that scoring opportunity might go to waste, but Puig made sure the team capitalized by taking Jeffress deep for a trio of insurance runs:BYU鈥檚 Cosmo the Cougar Is the Next Superstar MascotJoshua Johnson Is HS Footballs Quadruple ThreatThe Champions x Queer EyeHappy 26th Birthday to OBJ 馃帀Happy Anniversary to the Cubs Curse-BreakingD-Rose Turned Back the Clock and Put Up 50Will Drake鈥檚 Favorite Teams Reverse the 6 God Curse?Sports Worlds Halloween Costumes Went HardUp Your Halloween Game with Giant Pumpkin RegattaThe Champions: Episode 6 Is ComingDubs Trolled Fergie So Hard It Became a ChallengePurdue Footballs No. 1 Fan Is Inspiring the TeamOne Road to MLB Starts with a Bottle Cap and BroomstickIts Been a Wild Month with Flyers鈥?Mascot Gritty馃専The Champions: Episode 5 馃専CP3-Rondo Blowup Was a Long Time ComingMahomes Is Showtime Off the Field TooCFBs Creative Entrances Put WWE to ShameWorld Pole Climbing Championships Are Something ElseNBA Let Players Know They Have to Cover Branded TattoosRight Arrow IconThe Dodgers' first two victories of the series came by one run apiece, and all of them finished within grand slam range.Los Angeles' .223 average for the series won't jump off the page Garrett Richards Jersey , but the team got just enough hits in key moments to take the series.Don't forget: The Dodgers are the defending NL champs. Experience can't be undervalued, and after getting to Game 7 of the 2017 World Series, Los Angeles faces a familiar stage. Manny Machado and Matt Kemp may not have Fall Classic experience, but much of the rest of the roster, including Puig, Bellinger and Justin Turner, does. That's an advantage the Dodgers hold over the Red Sox.The Boston-Los Angeles World Series is a matchup of the postseason's two highest-scoring teams, so don't be surprised to see some fireworks at Fenway Park and Dodger Stadium in the coming weeks. What's NextFirst pitch for Game 1 of the 2018 World Series will be at Fenway Park on Tuesday, Oct. 23, at 8:09 p.m. ET. WASHINGTON â Free-agent-to-be Bryce Harper will obviously play more games at Nationals Park regardless of what happens in the offseason.Even if he leaves the Nationals, heâll return at some point in a different uniform and likely be the subject of a video tribute and warm ovation. Or heâll re-sign with Washington and spend the prime years of his career in a Nationalsâ uniform.The Nationals (80-78), though, play their final home game of a disappointing 2018 season Wednesday afternoon against the visiting Miami Marlins (62-95). For Harper, it could be the last time he dresses in the spacious home clubhouse and makes his way down the stairs to the Nationals dugout behind first base.Article continues below ...After entering the All-Star break with a .214 batting average, Harper thrilled the hometown crowd with a win in the Home Run Derby. He carried that success into the second half and is hitting .246 with 34 home runs, 129 runs scored, and career highs in RBIs (100) and walks (129) with four games remaining.âCredit to him,â manager Dave Martinez said. âHe started off really slow and to be whereâs he at now ⦠is a testament to what kind of player he really is.âHarper, the first overall pick in the 2010 draft, and agent Scott Boras will be able to listen to offers from other teams while the Nationals determine if Harper is part of the future or if they will use that money to fill needs that could include starting pitching, a catcher and a second baseman.âExcited about the future,â Harper told thesportscapital.com of whatâs ahead for the Nationals. âIf Iâm going to be part of that future Andrew Heaney Jersey , and hopefully I am, and if Iâm in those plans for the Nationals organization and (ownership), then weâll see what happens.âMiami left-hander Wei-Yin Chen (6-11, 4.66 ERA) opposes right-hander Tyler McGowin (0-0, 6.75) in Wednesdayâs finale, which could be affected by rain, which has been a near-constant of late at Nationals Park.Chen has a 2.88 ERA over his last seven games and is coming off a home win against the Reds in which he allowed three hits over seven shutout innings. He has a 1.62 home ERA in 13 starts, but a 9.29 road ERA in 11 outings.âI canât explain why I can pitch like this at home, and not so much on the road,â Chen told MLB.com. âI probably should practice more in spring training.âChen is making his fourth 2018 start against the Nationals and is 0-1. For his career, heâs 1-6 with a 4.84 ERA in 11 games (10 starts) versus Washington.McGowin will be making his first major league start in place of Tanner Roark, who will remain in Atlanta with his family following the birth of his son.The Nationals, who have moved ahead of the Phillies for second place in the NL East, won their second straight over the Marlins on Tuesday. Max Scherzer (18-7) struck out 10 batters to become the third pitcher in the last 15 seasons â joining Chris Sale and Clayton Kershaw â to strike out 300 batters in a season.Scherzer improved to 5-0 against the Marlins in 2018.âI think itâs fun for our guys, that challenge with him, because itâs the best,â Marlins manager Don Mattingly told the Miami Herald. âI think that challenge is good for hitters. It lets you know where youâre at.âAnthony Rendon continued his torrid hitting, clubbing a homer and driving in four runs for the second straight night. He has five homers in his last nine games, and has 91 RBIs despite missing a month because of injury.âHe is on fire,â Martinez said. âHe works good at-bats. He uses the whole field.â
