Kyle Tucker, signed by the Los Angeles Dodgers for $240 million, came under significant scrutiny early in the season for a rough start. He hit a two-run home run against the Atlanta Braves in the NLDS. The Dodgers moved on.
But Los Angeles then dropped NLCS Game 1 to the Milwaukee Brewers 2-1 on October 11. The Dodgers got to starter Jacob Misiorowski early, but the Brewers bullpen held on and closed it out to earn the 2-1 victory.
