Swanson: Dodgers can forget about a three-peat if they can't fix their RISP problem

The Los Angeles Dodgers dropped Game 1 of the National League Championship Series by a score of 2-1 against the Milwaukee Brewers after struggling to produce clutch hits. Throughout the postseason contest, the squad went one for six with runners in scoring position and left nine total baserunners stranded.

Andy Pages accounted for the lone hits in those situations, though he also struck out during a crucial sixth-inning opportunity with runners on the corners. Star players like Mookie Betts and a slumping Shohei Ohtani ultimately fell short in late-game pressure spots, prompting concerns about the franchise's pursuit of a historic three-peat.
