LOS ANGELES — Carlos Rodon will take the mound Saturday where another lefty starter, Fernando Valenzuela, tossed a 147-pitch complete game in a Game 3 win over the Yankees in the 1981 World Series. So far this postseason, Rodon hasn’t thrown more than 93 pitches in a start — a number that’s on the higher side of the scale in the modern game.

The first walk off grand slam in World Series history was hit by Freddie Freeman in the bottom of the 10th inning to give the Dodgers Game 1 of the World Series. Los Angeles Times beat writer Jack Harris with columnists Dylan Hernández and Bill Plaschke go over the historic moment and more from Game 1.
