The Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Philadelphia Phillies in Game 2 of the NLDS despite things getting much closer than they needed to in the ninth inning.
When manager Dave Roberts gave right-hander Blake Treinen the nod to come out of the bullpen with a 4-1 lead, the veteran reliever mustered just 12 pitches, allowing two earned runs and failing to record an out. The skipper spoke on his decision to put Treinen in the game in that scenario, and what he didn’t see from the All-Star reliever.
“I felt that he was getting some momentum before that last one,” Roberts said.
