Kiké Hernández’s ninth-inning homer lifts Dodgers past Giants, 4-3

SB Nation

The Dodgers beat the Giants 4-3 on Saturday as Kiké Hernández homered to open the ninth. Blake Snell allowed one run in four innings in his final regular-season start and showed no apparent limits after leaving his Sept. 16 start with left groin tightness.

Snell threw 77 pitches in four innings without a walk. His two fastest fastballs of the season were 98.6 and 98.2 mph, and he averaged 96.8 mph with the pitch. Since returning from the injured list, he has allowed five runs in nine starts, never more than one in any outing.

Blake Treinen stopped warming in the bullpen before Brock Stewart entered to pitch the seventh after extra warm-up pitches. Later broadcast footage showed Treinen walking to the dugout and clubhouse with trainer Bernard Li. The article did not say whether Treinen was injured; he had returned in September after missing two and a half months with elbow inflammation.
