Tanner Scott Struggles in Postseason Closer Role for Dodgers

Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Tanner Scott received the first postseason save opportunity in Game 1 of the NLDS but struggled, giving up a single and a home run to the first two batters he faced. Having converted 25 of 29 save opportunities during the regular season in Edwin Díaz's absence, Scott remains a key left-handed weapon out of the bullpen as the Dodgers navigate high-leverage late-inning decisions against the Atlanta Braves in the division series.
