The Dodgers made a record 32 pitching changes in the Series.... Brandon Morrow struck out Alex Bregman, the only batter he faced in Game 7, on three pitches. Morrow became only the second pitcher to appear in all seven World Series games, joining Darold Knowles, who did it for the champion Oakland Athletics in 1973. Morrow made 14 postseason appearances this year, tying a record established by Paul Assenmaucher of the 1997 Cleveland Indians.… Making his Dodgers-record 51st appearance in a postseason game, Ethier had a run-scoring pinch-hit single in the sixth inning.… Cody Bellinger struck out a record 17 times in 28 World Series at-bats, and a record 29 times during the playoffs in 64 at-bats. The previous playoff strikeout record was held by New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge , who fanned 27 times in 48 at-bats this year. Bellinger, in the NL, and Judge, in the AL, each set league rookie regular-season home-run records and are expected to be rookies of the year.
