Dodgers’ Dave Roberts Uncertain on Blake Treinen’s Role as Postseason Nears

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts reaffirmed his trust in relief pitcher Blake Treinen after the Dodgers’ 3-1 loss to the San Francisco Giants on Sunday.

Treinen entered the game for starting pitcher Emmet Sheehan — who threw seven shutout innings with 10 strikeouts — in the eighth inning, and issued two walks while allowing three hits. The Giants scored all three of their runs off of Treinen in the eighth inning.

“At the end of the day, there are certain guys I’m going to go to in leverage, and certain guys I’m not going to go to, and my trust in him is unwavering — I still feel confident in him,” Roberts said of Treinen.
