Another Blake Treinen disaster just drove Dodgers to the brink in Game 2

The Dodgers' bullpen was undoubtedly LA's greatest weakness going into the postseason, and the Phillies almost found a way to exploit it on Monday night, in Game 2 of the NLDS.

Blake Snell gave LA six innings of one-hit baseball, while the Dodgers' offense capitalized on a waning Jesús Luzardo in the seventh for a four-run rally. Emmet Sheehan gave up a run in his two innings of work, but the Dodgers' true relievers only needed to get three outs to put them up 2-0 in the series. Three outs, with a three-run lead. Surely they'd be okay, right?

Blake Treinen has turned himself into an enemy of Dodgers fans everywhere. He came in for the ninth and immediately gave up a single, then a double. Nick Castellanos, hitless in his first three at-bats, hit a two-run double to put the Phillies within one with the tying run in scoring position.

That was three batters for Treinen, though fans would have much preferred to see him pulled after the first double to JT Realmuto. Alex Vesia was called in, and he did get the first two outs on a heads-up play from Max Muncy to throw Castellanos out at home and a Max Kepler groundout, but sandwiched between them was a Harrison Bader single.

With runners on the corners, Dave Roberts called in Roki Sasaki, who has basically become the Dodgers' closer even if Roberts doesn't actually want to call him that. It took just two pitches to former Dodger Trea Turner and a beautiful snag from Freddie Freeman at first base on a wonky throw from Tommy Edman to end the game.

The Dodgers made it out of that game by the skin of their teeth, but LA fans knew that something like this was going to happen at some point; it was only a matter of when. TBS play-by-play announcer Brian Anderson even foreshadowed the whole thing while talking about Treinen's 11.12 ERA in his last seven regular season games.

No lead seems too big for Treinen to blow or get dangerously close to blowing. Most of the blame has fallen on Tanner Scott, but we shouldn't forget that Treinen is the one who turned Yoshinobu Yamamoto's spoiled no-hitter into an outright loss in Baltimore on Sept. 6. He's the guy who gave up a game-winning three-run homer to these very Phillies on Sept. 16.

The Dodgers just got lucky this time, but they might not always. If Roberts doesn't leave Treinen off of a potential NLCS roster, he's going to get an absolute earful about it from fans.
