For the Dodgers, the night didn’t start with worry about the ninth inning. It started with another clean stretch of relief—another reminder that even without Edwin Diaz available, the bullpen is still finding ways to close doors.
Wednesday night, Los Angeles extended its remarkable scoreless innings streak while continuing to lean on multiple relievers in high-leverage moments. It’s a win condition that has become even more valuable during the National League West race, when every narrow lead has to hold.
Diaz has not been able to help. He underwent elbow surgery earlier this year, forcing the Dodgers to quickly reshape what late-inning responsibilities look like. Instead of the group losing its edge. the bullpen has only tightened—turning this phase of the season into one of the most impressive runs the organization has produced in decades.
Veteran relievers Blake Treinen, Alex Vesia, Tanner Scott and Will Klein have each been key contributors through the streak. Klein’s impact has arrived with its own milestone. He recorded the first save of his major league career during Tuesday’s 5-4 victory over the San Diego Padres.
The Dodgers’ comfort against San Diego has also grown through the week. Earlier this week at Petco Park, Los Angeles took two of three games against the Padres, reinforcing its pitching depth and its ability to protect close leads against one of the National League’s most dangerous lineups.
The scale of the bullpen stretch has not gone unnoticed. ESPN MLB’s Alden Gonzàlez shared the statistic on X, formerly Twitter, underscoring the historic weight of what the Dodgers are doing without Diaz:
“The Dodgers’ bullpen, without Edwin Diaz, has put together 28 consecutive scoreless innings. It’s the franchise’s longest such streak since 1998, and its third-longest since moving to Los Angeles, per @ESPNInsights.”
That number lands at exactly the moment the Dodgers most need stability. With games being carried. leads being defended. and opposing offenses being shut down. Los Angeles has continued to position itself among baseball’s early World Series contenders—despite major injuries shaping the margins of who can do what.
If the bullpen is becoming the Dodgers’ signature weapon right now, Wednesday night only made it feel more inevitable: while Edwin Diaz remains unavailable, the rest of the group keeps showing up, inning after inning, to keep the scoreboard from ever moving.
