Would I like him back and healthy this series? Of course, as he may well break out. But even without him, up 2 - 0 the Dodgers would be a prohibitive favorite to close things out. So I don't think it's even remotely a "costly 2nd win" unless it was a career affecting event.
But the same guys who have been hot and carrying the team may well go cold. It's never, IMO, not a big deal to lose your best player.
