sweeper

“Street sweepers, sanitation crews took all of the property and much of the garbage that was out there, and as of this morning, it remains clean,” Dyer said in early November.

Stanton, on the other hand, can be more susceptible to sweepers, having slugged just .349 against the pitch — a specialty of several key Dodgers relievers — this season.

“Manaea actually made a really good pitch with the backdoor sweeper,” said Andrew Friedman, the team’s president of baseball operations.

But he executed a crucial three-pitch sequence against Jesse Winker, dotting a couple outer edge fastballs before snapping off a sweeper that Winker hit to left.

In the second, Mookie Betts struck out to strand the bases loaded, going down swinging on a sweeper well out of the zone.
