reliever

Entering the day, no team had relied upon its relievers more heavily.

The Dodgers’ relievers helped the team earn a 1-0 win over the Rangers Sunday after Tyler Glasnow was pulled in the fifth inning because of cramps.

Then, this weekend, top right-handed reliever Blake Treinen went down with a low-grade forearm sprain.

“Things are slowly moving forward,” said Roberts, who added that injured reliever Michael Kopech will throw a second bullpen Tuesday and starter Blake Snell will begin throwing Monday.

Thus, his next time up in the top of the seventh, Pages swung at three straight sliders from reliever Eduardo Salazar.
