Dodgers Clinch 14th Straight Postseason Berth, Freddie Freeman Knee Panic & Edwin Díaz Benched? | Dodgers Post

Dodgers beat writers Jack Harris and Dylan Hernandez recap a quiet 4-1 postseason-clinching victory over the Cincinnati Reds after Tarik Skubal’s 7 shutout innings.

The guys break down Freddie Freeman's alarming right knee patellar tendonitis slump, Edwin Díaz's disastrous 5-run rehab outing putting his playoff spot in jeopardy, and Josué De Paula's electric 400-foot upper deck home run.

Finally, the show devolves into a hilarious debate over Dylan's inability to change a flat tire, minor league ear-biting trivia, and whether the Dodgers should bench Shohei Ohtani for De Paula at DH in October.
