Controversial Pitching Change Leads Diamondbacks to Crucial NLCS Victory

Arizona Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo faced boos from the crowd after pulling pitcher Brandon Pfaadt in Game 3 of the NLCS, despite his impressive performance with nine strikeouts and just 70 pitches thrown. However, Lovullo's decision paid off as the bullpen delivered, leading to a 2-1 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies. Lovullo acknowledged the criticism but emphasized his strategic approach and the need to keep the bullpen engaged. He believed it was the best decision to control the potent Phillies' offense.
