[Sports Center/Comprehensive Report] The Warriors recorded 5 wins and 1 loss against the defending Dodgers in this year's regular season. However, in G1 of the National League Division Series today, the Ax Gang were suppressed by the Dodgers' second-time Cy Young pitcher Tarik Skubal. They did not close the score until late in the game, but it was still too late. Warriors head coach Walt Weiss was convinced after the game.

Scooper, who started G1, did not disappoint the Dodgers at all today. He pitched 62 of 94 pitches in 6 innings and only allowed 2 hits, including 1 run by Sean Murphy. He struck out 7 times and walked 2 times, finishing with the winning pitch. Although the Warriors relied on Ronald Acuña Jr. to score two runs in the ninth inning, it still didn't help.

Talking about Scholper's performance after the game, Warriors head coach Wise said directly: "Scholper really pitched very well. He seemed to be in the best condition today. Of course, he is already a very good pitcher. We knew this would be a very difficult game, but he really performed well."

Dodger G2 will send another two-time Cy Young left-hander Blake Snell to take charge, and the Warriors must avoid falling into a draw situation. When asked whether G2 will directly start the former genius backup Cy Young ace Chris Sale, Wise responded: "We haven't decided yet. There will be various discussions next. If he is in very good condition tonight, that may be the answer. But we may also wait until tomorrow morning to see his physical condition when he gets up before making a decision."
