Dodgers' Patient Hitting Wins Game 4 Against Mets

New York, Citi Field, USASat Oct 19 2024
The Dodgers have been known for their patient approach at the plate, and this strategy paid off in Game 4 of the NLCS against the Mets. Unlike last season, the Dodgers decided to stick with their patient approach rather than change it. This tactic has worked wonders for them. They've been waiting for good pitches and not swinging at bad ones. This game was a perfect example of that. The Dodgers scored 10 runs, their highest in the playoffs, by being patient and making the Mets' pitcher, José Quintana, throw strikes. They drew nine walks and had 12 hits. The Dodgers now lead the series 3-1 and have a chance to clinch the pennant in Game 5. Their bullpen has been great, but their offense is finally clicking. Players like Max Muncy, Mookie Betts, and Tommy Edman have been key to their success. The Dodgers are showing that their strategy is working, and they are one step closer to the World Series.
