Mets Rally Exposes Dodgers' Bullpen Woes, Roberts Addresses Relief Inconsistencies

Dave Roberts defended the bullpen’s body of work while signaling changes in usage and roles as the team lugs through rough patches, with next up a series against Seattle. The piece notes the bullpen’s season-era around 3.79 (eighth in MLB) and mentions absences of key players.
