As the Los Angeles Dodgers were on their way to beating the Cincinnati Reds in Wild Card Game 1 on Tuesday evening, there was a lot to be excited about. The offense was firing on all cylinders, Blake Snell was shoving through seven innings, and the energy was sensational at Dodger Stadium.
Then the bullpen entered the game.
A 59-pitch inning from Alex Vesia, Edgardo Henriquez, and Jack Dreyer resulted in three earned runs, four walks, and just one strikeout.
