"The Los Angeles Dodgers held on, 5-4, to win an 11-inning thriller against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Roki Sasaki pitched for the first time since May 9 and put together a scoreless inning in relief, while future Hall of Famer Clayton Kershaw pitched in just his fourth-career regular season bullpen appearance. LA improved to 89-69 on the year and shrunk the magic number to clinch the NL West down to one."
"Ahead of the eventual victory, an All-Star relief pitcher was shelved on the injured list. Between the rough outings and the injuries that have seemingly plagued the relievers all season, there is no better time for a complete turnaround at this point in September. With all the turnover in the bullpen, one name emerging as a potential high-leverage option is Emmet Sheehan."
