Or to the Dodgers, who are getting huge offensive contributions from practically every spot in their lineup. The Cuban slugger is just one purring component of a machine that has the Dodgers on the brink of an even bigger celebration. The Dodgers have the majors' biggest payroll, but their offence is coming from players of all salaries and pedigrees. And even when the heart of the Dodgers' order produced little in Game 2, their 6-7-8 hitters — Forsythe, Barnes and Puig — were spectacular. Barnes, usually the Dodgers' backup catcher, reached base three times and got the night's biggest hit with that fifth-inning double.
