Pitcher Kevin Gausman, following the beer-soaked celebration, stated, “We’re not concerned about the Dodgers’ financial resources. It’s two great teams, and we have good baseball ahead.” Outfielder Nathan Lukes referred to the Dodgers as a “powerhouse” but expressed confidence in their team, even though they are missing star player Bo Bichette, who has been sidelined since September 6.
