Walking a batter to bring up Aaron Judge?
Definitely feels like playing with fire. But for the Dodgers, the decision paid off.
They walked Juan Soto to bring up Judge in the top of the ninth. Dave Roberts elected to go with the righty Blake Treinen.
Treinen threw four sweepers and one 4-seam fastball. The fastball that Judge popped out to end the inning was 93.5 mph, per Baseball Savant.
An in-game managerial decision that works for Roberts.
