How did Dave Roberts sleep after Monday's 18-inning marathon of a game?

Next game comes fast for players

LEFT FIELDER Kiké Hernández dives into the stands to catch a fly by Nathan Lukes on Tuesday.

Well, actually, he explained with a smile.

"I took a little sleep aid to get off my high," Roberts said with a grin. "Woke up with clarity, freshness, and excited to go tonight."

Only in baseball can one playoff game end minutes shy of midnight, for the next to begin just 17 hours later.

That was the challenge facing the Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays entering Game 4 on Tuesday. And even though many players in the Dodgers clubhouse had previous experience from their 18-inning World Series game in 2018, "I don't know if there's anything you can learn from it," third baseman Max Muncy said with a laugh.
