Dodgers manager Dave Roberts had options besides Julio Urías, a starter all regular season, to face the top of the Braves’ lineup in the eighth inning. Blake Treinen threw just nine pitches in the seventh inning. He could’ve stayed in the game for a few more batters. Kenley Jansen was still available. Justin Bruihl, another left-hander, could have been summoned to face the left-handed hitters due up.
“He was the best option at that point in time,” Roberts said. “He was prepared for it. It was a perfect spot for him.” Dodgers pitcher Julio Urías reacts after giving up a run-scoring single to Atlanta’s Ozzie Albies in the eighth inning. The Dodgers countered the left-handed hitter with Jansen, and Rosario didn’t waste any time. The Puerto Rican hammered the first pitch, a cutter, up the middle, just to the right of second base. Seager was perfectly positioned in the Dodgers’ shift and tried backhanding the scorched one-hopper. It bounced off his glove into center field, letting Swanson race around to score.The night began in the Dodgers’ favor.
