LOS ANGELES -- On Wednesday, Dave Roberts had a two-run lead in the eighth and not many inspiring options to help him keep it.
Two of his setup men, Chris Hatcher and Pedro Baez, had allowed runs in the team's previous game against the D-backs and the third reliever typically used in that role, Yimi Garcia, had a 4.91 ERA at the time. The solution was to bring in Baez to get a single out, then summon Kenley Jansen for a five-out save.
While that's not a move that signals confidence in a bullpen, it's one that worked out.
