Rookies aren’t just happy to be playing in October during their first seasons. They’re expected to be key contributors to contending clubs right from the start of their careers. This year’s group is no different.

In his first career postseason start, Michael King — a key component of the Juan Soto trade last December — rose to the occasion Tuesday night. He struck out 12 Braves across seven scoreless innings.

After lacing a key two-run triple in the second inning, Jesse Winker exchanged words with Milwaukee shortstop Willy Adames.

Since the expanded postseason field came into play before the 2022 season, no team has more experience navigating through the “bye week” than Los Angeles.

Catch live coverage including highlights, interviews, expert analysis and more before and after every postseason game, beginning today at 2 p.m. ET on MLB Network.
