| Analysis: Pitching on short rest, Sabathia breezed through the first four innings, ran into some minor trouble in the fifth, and recovered by retiring the last eight batters he faced. His fastball was as dominant as ever, but it was his changeup that truly befuddled the Los Angeles hitters. Sabathia (3-0, 1.19 ERA, 20 strikeouts in three starts) has been magnificent this postseason. |
