The Los Angeles Dodgers watched the Milwaukee Brewers rob a Grand Slam opportunity in the fourth inning. But L.A. overcame the early 8-6-2 double play and a late Brewers charge to win 2-1 Monday. Their Game 1 win in the National League Championship Series, though, brought a wide range of emotions.
Notably for one crucial sequence involving Dave Roberts and Roki Sasaki .
The two-time World Series winner opted to pull his red-hot rookie with two runners already on base. Blake Treinen entered the mound and faced a bases loaded scenario. But the 37-year-old veteran hit Brice Turang with a strike swinging 95 mph fast ball to seal the win.
Still, fans and national media reacted with multiple emotions.
