WASHINGTON – Former Nationals’ reliever Blake Treinen, now with the Dodgers, was called upon by manager Dave Roberts to pitch in the fourth inning on Sunday night against the Atlanta Braves.
Treinen, who struggled late in regular-season play, came through with two scoreless innings and the Dodgers came back to beat the Braves 4-3 in the seventh and deciding game of the NLCS.
“We’re resilient,” Dodgers’ outfielder Cody Bellinger told reporters.
“This is our year,” Roberts said.
The Dodgers turned a big double play thanks to third baseman Justin Turner as the Braves missed a great chance to add on with Treinen on the mound in the fourth.
