The Los Angeles Dodgers narrowly escaped Game 2 of the NLDS with a win against the Philadelphia Phillies, but it wasn’t without some drama from the bullpen (which can unfortunately be expected at this point in the season).
The Dodgers took a four-run lead in the seventh inning, and after Emmet Sheehan allowed a run through his two innings of work, manager Dave Roberts had a decision to make regarding who would trot out of the bullpen for the game’s final three outs.
Despite Roki Sasaki warming up in the seventh inning and, to that point, having yet to give up an earned run in relief through his last four innings of regular season and postseason play, Roberts put right-hander Blake Treinen into the game.
