"Dave Roberts flailed a bit as well. It may just be that Roberts and I have such wildly divergent opinions of his pitchers that I’m going to disagree with everything he does. I thought he left Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who wasn’t as sharp as he’d been in Game Two, in a batter too long. Yamamoto retired Daulton Varsho in the sixth with two on and two out to escape the inning. Turning to Justin Wrobleski, who is probably his best reliever, Roberts got a shutout inning with two strikeouts on 16 pitches. Rather than leave Wrobleski in for the eighth, he went to Roki Sasaki."
