""Sheehan was solid for the seventh inning, but would allow a run in the eighth. Instead of going with Sheehan for a third inning - or even Roki Sasaki, who not only allowed just one hit and no earned runs in his two postseason relief appearances but was seen warming up in the seventh inning - manager Dave Roberts went with Blake Treinen.""
""He hasn't gone two of three much, at all. Just figuring the run right there, Blake's pitched some of the biggest outs, innings in the postseason for us. And felt really confident right there. And with (Alex) Vesia behind him, if needed. So I didn't want to just, kind of, preemptively put (Sasaki) in there. Again, I felt good with who we had""
Blake Snell delivered six scoreless innings with nine strikeouts, allowing one hit and four walks. The Dodgers' offense produced four runs in the top of the seventh to seize control. Emmet Sheehan pitched the seventh and allowed a run in the eighth. Manager Dave Roberts brought in Blake Treinen for the ninth instead of extending Sheehan or using Roki Sasaki, who had warmed up and previously allowed one hit and no earned runs in relief. Treinen had a high September ERA but had a clean Wild Card outing. The Dodgers held on to win 4-3, leading the NLDS 2-0 amid bullpen concerns.
