""I felt that he was getting some momentum before that last one," Roberts said. "So I'll check in on him. But there's ways of how you go about an outing, successful or not successful, and how a player carries himself matters to me. "There was definitely a different look, which - he's got great pedigree in biggest of spots. But, you know, I just didn't see that edge last night that I know I've seen it many times over.""
"Treinen had a miserable month of September to close out the regular season, pitching to the tune of a 9.64 ERA across his 12 outings. To both Treinen and Roberts' credit, the 37-year-old reliever allowed just one hit in two appearances during the Wild Card round against the Cincinnati Reds. Treinen also has quite the resume during the Dodgers' last postseason appearance which may have factored into Roberts' decision."
The Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Philadelphia Phillies in NLDS Game 2 despite a shaky ninth inning. Manager Dave Roberts summoned Blake Treinen with a 4-1 lead; Treinen threw 12 pitches, allowed two earned runs, and failed to record an out. Roberts said he sensed momentum earlier but did not see Treinen's usual competitive edge. Treinen posted a 9.64 ERA in September over 12 outings but allowed only one hit in two Wild Card appearances. Last postseason, Treinen had a 2.19 ERA in nine appearances with three saves, two holds, and two credited World Series wins.
