The one exception in this stat was the 2019 World Series in which the Washington Nationals lost game 5 against the Houston Astros, but then went on to take the series in game 6 and 7.

Praying all the best for Seth Lugo, saw the 107mph line drive off the bat that went straight to his head. Terrifying.
Also huge props to Brandon Nimmo for showing absolute class by checking up on him immediately after hitting the pitch, that’s sportsmanship, that’s class.
Dave Roberts on Roki Sasaki
"He has wrestled down both his inner conflicts and anxieties through his own efforts. Roki now possesses the strength of a man built up over time."
"The stability he's shown in his last 6-7 starts is at the pinnacle of the majors. His baseline has risen. It's just a matter of how far he can shatter his limits."
