"The bullpen seems to be trending up for the Los Angeles Dodgers after some season-long struggles that came to its lowest point over the past month. After throwing eight innings with just one run allowed on Friday, the bullpen came back with four shutout innings on Saturday to secure another win over the Seattle Mariners. In the process, Blake Treinen, Alex Vesia and Edgardo Henriquez all struck out three hitters in back-to-back-to-back innings."
"Treinen pitched the seventh inning, and he was the only one of the three who didn't complete a perfect frame. He allowed a leadoff single to Randy Arozarena before striking out Cal Raleigh, Julio Rodríguez and Jorge Polanco. Vesia worked the eighth, striking out Eugenio Suárez, Dominic Canzone and Luke Raley in order. The ninth inning belonged to Henriquez, who struck out Leo Rivas, Harry Ford and Arozarena to record his first save of the season and set the Dodgers record for consecutive strikeouts."
"In total, the Dodgers' pitching staff had 15 strikeouts in their matchup against the Mariners. Tyler Glasnow struck out three in three innings, Heaney punched out a pair in two innings, and Jack Dreyer added one. With their last few games, the Dodgers' bullpen has been gaining confidence, and manager Dave Roberts is getting more information on who he can trust in October."
The Los Angeles Dodgers bullpen has shown improvement after a difficult stretch, delivering eight strong innings Friday and four shutout innings Saturday to beat the Seattle Mariners. Blake Treinen, Alex Vesia and Edgardo Henriquez each struck out three batters in consecutive innings, marking the franchise's first nine straight bullpen strikeouts since the Live-Ball era began in 1920. Treinen allowed a leadoff single before striking out three, Vesia fanned three in order, and Henriquez earned his first save. The staff totaled 15 strikeouts, and the bullpen's confidence is rising as the club evaluates relievers for the Wild Card series.
