Coming off a historically poor offensive performance last postseason, Andy Pages went hitless through the first two games of this year's NL Division Series. The small sample of seven at-bats raised some concerns, especially because he missed most of the final month of the regular season due to a fracture in his left hand. Manager Dave Roberts acknowledged that Pages' performance created some cause for concern. But before the series shifted to Atlanta, Roberts reaffirmed his trust in the young center fielder, a first-time All-Star who became an integral piece of the Dodgers' lineup this season. "I believe in him," Roberts said. "I feel that for us to win the World Series this year, we're gonna need him to be an active part of our team." Roberts' faith was rewarded when Pages came through with a two-run single in the seventh inning of NLDS Game 4 on Wednesday night, driving in the winning runs of the Dodgers' 4-1 victory over the Braves that punched their ticket to a third straight NLCS appearance. The Dodgers have won their past five road postseason games dating back to Game 2 of the 2025 World Series, tying a franchise record. They are 10-1 in their past 11 road postseason games and 14-3 in their past 17. Bidding for the fifth three-peat in World Series history, the Dodgers have advanced to the next stage in their title defense. Three wins down, and eight to go if they are to reach their ultimate goal.
