WASHINGTON -- When the Washington Nationals face the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL Division Series, theyll see a steady diet of left-handed hitters throughout the lineup.Late in games, they believe that makes Sammy Solis the left man for the job.The lefty reliever returned Tuesday from a five-week stint on the disabled list with shoulder inflammation and threw a perfect seventh inning against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Solis first appearance since Aug. 15 was a positive sign that hell be able to contribute in October.He was awesome, manager Dusty Baker said. He said he was ready. We threw him right in the fire. He showed us he was ready.Facing Socrates Brito, Jean Segura and Jake Lamb in a two-run game against Arizona in late September isnt the same as going up against Dodgers lefties Chase Utley, Corey Seager, Adrian Gonzalez, Josh Reddick or Andrew Toles, but it was a high-leverage spot nonetheless. Solis appreciated Bakers confidence in him in that situation with Cy Young Award candidate Max Scherzers 19th win and another step toward home-field advantage in the first round at stake.Baker said the Nationals hadnt yet decided on their 25-man roster, but they should have their bullpen stocked with lefties because of their opponent. After dealing Felipe Rivero to Pittsburgh for right-handed closer Mark Melancon, they acquired Marc Rzepczynski from Oakland and re-acquired Sean Burnett from Minnesota.Still, bullpen depth has been an area of concern. Baker said the return of Solis is a huge boost.Hes the one lefty in the bullpen that can get lefties and righties out equally, Baker said. Thats big because you dont have to change pitchers. Were not going to have all these pitchers (like a September 40-man roster) when you get to the postseason.Youre going to have to let some righties face lefties and some lefties face righties or else youll go through your whole bullpen and you play extra-inning games youll be out of pitching. So thats huge.Righties are hitting .229 and lefties .193 off Solis this season. In a perfect world for Washington, he could become a one-inning, doesnt matter whos batting reliever. Getting lefty Brito and righties Segura and Lamb out easily in his first game back was a small-sample-size indicator of that.The 28-year-old only has 53 appearances in his career, all over the past two seasons with the Nationals. But he has only given up three home runs in that time, which could be a difference-maker in the playoffs.Solis said Tuesday night he just hopes to make the playoff roster, which shouldnt be an issue. And he wants to be counted on against the Dodgers no matter the role.Were going to throw our best stuff at them, Solis said. I really hope Im in there especially with a left-handed dominant lineup like they have and some power, as well.Bill Buckner Red Sox Jersey .com) - The game was all punts and field goals before Kodi Whitfields catch.
