Blake Treinen threw his hands in the sky. His teammates poured out of the dugout and swallowed him near the mound. Around them, the collective force of 53,000 fans all too accustomed to October frustration and heartbreak roared in delirious unison. And not for the last time this fall, either. Not after a nearly flawless performance from their ball club on Friday.
Staring down a third-straight potential NLDS exit, they banded together, shut down the Padres powerhouse lineup, and exercised some maddening recent postseason demons in the process. In each of the last two years, and three of the last five, the Dodgers had failed to produce a moment like Friday’s. In 2019, 2022 and 2023, they watched division-winning, 100-win ball clubs crash out of the playoffs in the best-of-five division series round.
