(AP Photo\/Ryan Sun)<\/p>\n<p>Expand<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>SEATTLE \u2014 October is in the air.<\/p>\n<p>Kik\u00e9 Hernandez has flipped the calendar a little early. A\u00a0 .206 hitter this season, Hernandez becomes a different hitter when the leaves turn. He has gone 5 for 13 over his past three games, including a two-run home run Friday night and a pair of doubles Saturday. The second double came in the ninth inning and broke a tie, sending the Dodgers to a 5-3 victory over the Seattle Mariners.<\/p>\n<p>Also making a fall transformation \u2013 the Dodgers hope and pray \u2013 is the bullpen. Blake Treinen, Alex Vesia and Edgardo Henriquez closed out Saturday\u2019s win by striking out the final nine Mariners hitters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s nice to smile after a game, I can say that,\u201d said Treinen, who took five losses in his previous nine appearances.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think we\u2019re just obviously getting closer to the playoffs. You can kind of feel these last two weeks \u2013 albeit not always smooth \u2013 the intensity has ramped up. \u2026 It just seems like all of us, myself included, are just a little more focused. I don\u2019t know how to explain it. Not that there was a lack of focus before but maybe just another added sense of intensity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dodgers manager Dave Roberts has seen that team-wide.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think that we\u2019ve done nothing but talk about the postseason here this last few weeks,\u201d Roberts said. \u201cTo see guys, certain guys respond the way they have, that\u2019s telling. It just continues to build my trust in them, and you look at this last few days, there\u2019s a lot of guys.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis trust tree\u2019s growing, and that\u2019s a good thing for all of us. Just creates options. And at the end of the day, nothing they\u2019ve done matters outside of the recency and the confidence that they have going into the postseason. It\u2019s been a really good few days.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Dodgers also moved a step closer to knowing who they will host on Tuesday at Dodger Stadium. If the Cincinnati Reds win their regular-season finale Sunday (in Milwaukee), they will travel to Los Angeles for the best-of-three Wild Card Series. If the Reds lose and the New York Mets lose, the Reds have the tiebreaker advantage and will still be headed west. Only if they lose and the Mets win (in Miami) would the Mets claim the final wild-card spot and a date with the Dodgers.<\/p>\n<p>Shohei Ohtani was not in the Dodgers\u2019 lineup Saturday for only the fourth time in 161 games.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, Ohtani put in his work before the game, throwing a bullpen session. Roberts has declined to name a starting pitcher for the opener of the Wild Card Series \u2013 but Ohtani throwing a bullpen session on Saturday is consistent with him making a pitching start three days later.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday was a spa day for him,\u201d Roberts said. \u201cHe could have done whatever he wanted today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Saturday\u2019s starter, Tyler Glasnow, was limited to just three innings, keeping open the possibility \u2013 \u201cpretty likely,\u201d Roberts said \u2013 that he could be on the roster for the Wild Card Series and pitch in relief.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you boil it down, pitching is pitching,\u201d Glasnow said of pitching in relief. \u201cJust try to go out there and treat it like another inning. Maybe have a little bit more adrenaline. But I\u2019m looking forward to it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Glasnow was followed Saturday by left-hander Andrew Heaney, promoted from Triple-A Oklahoma City for the purposes of soaking up the extra innings. The former Angel and now two-time Dodger was released by the Pittsburgh Pirates in August and signed by the Dodgers. He gave up a three-run home run to Jorge Polanco in the fifth inning (after Dalton Rushing\u2019s two-run home run had given the Dodgers a brief lead).<\/p>\n<p>The Dodgers tied it in the top of the seventh, then took the lead on Hernandez\u2019s double in the top of the ninth as the bullpen piled up the strikeouts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m kind of an eternal optimist with my belief in the guys,\u201d Roberts said. \u201cYou\u2019ve got to kind of take the long view with some of these guys. But it\u2019s arrived. I think that positionally, our at-bat quality with certain guys has really ramped up, Kik\u00e9 being one of them. The pitching, the starting pitching, has been fantastic for the last couple months.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen now you see guys playing, competing for an opportunity to be on the postseason roster and also potentially getting innings. I like that fight and they\u2019re leaving it all out there. That\u2019s all I ask. And not be afraid to fail. Leave everything you have out there on the field.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Treinen and company could have some help on the right side of the Dodgers\u2019 bullpen this week. Roberts said right-hander Ben Casparius will join the Dodgers in Los Angeles on Monday. Casparius is under consideration for the Wild Card Series roster, depending on which team the Dodgers match up against.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn years past, I\u2019ve always believed any time anybody gets on a run, it\u2019s because you\u2019ve had a couple things go your way and you\u2019re executing. That success breeds confidence, which breeds more success and you just ride it as long as you can,\u201d Treinen said. \u201cAnd if this is step one for us, then great. I honestly feel we\u2019ve been pitching and competing really well lately. But as a collective group, this one was pretty awesome.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img sizes=\"(max-width: 40em) 620px,(min-width: 40em) and (max-width: 50em) 780px,(min-width: 50em) and (max-width: 65em) 810px,(min-width: 65em) and (max-width: 80em) 1280px,(min-width: 80em) 1860px,1860px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dailynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/AP25271075845042.jpg?w=620 620w,https:\/\/www.dailynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/AP25271075845042.jpg?w=780 780w,https:\/\/www.dailynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/AP25271075845042.jpg?w=810 810w,https:\/\/www.dailynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/AP25271075845042.jpg?w=1280 1280w,https:\/\/www.dailynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/AP25271075845042.jpg?w=1860 1860w\" alt=\"Kik\u00e9 Hernandez stays hot in Dodgers\u2019 win over Mariners\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Dodgers starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow delivers a pitch during the first inning of a baseball game against the Seattle Mariners, Saturday, Sept. 27, 2025, in Seattle.
