Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Blake Treinen paid tribute to political activist Charlie Kirk, who was fatally shot on Wednesday in Utah, during Friday's game against the San Francisco Giants.
Blake Treinen, who was on the mound for the ninth inning of the game, wore a cap that had Kirk’s name alongside a cross. The Dodgers reliever's action divided fans on social media.
"Disgusting."•
God bless Blake Treinen.Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.
Crap. Don't tell me I have to start liking the Dodgers.
Yet I doubt there’s the names of any of the school shooting victims. They don’t care about anyone
I so dislike the Dodgers but I really love this & I am very happy he did it
I'll be booing him very soon.
The Dodgers closer is a devout Christian and talked about how his faith has played a significant role in his life and baseball.
"He’s my everything. I mean, I wouldn’t be here without my relationship with Jesus," Treinen told CBN Sports. "When I’m on the mound, that’s my form of worship. I draw a cross and point up so that people know who I play for."Giants walk off Dodgers in series opener despite Balke Treinen's scoreless outing.
Blake Treinen entered the game after fellow reliever Jack Dreyer pitched 1.1 innings without allowing a run and striking out three hitters to keep the score 1-1.
Treinen followed with a scoreless ninth inning, thanks to a double play from Andy Pages, to take the game into extra innings. While Dreyer and Treinen did their job, under-fire reliever Tanner Scott failed to see his team through.
Scott loaded the bases after allowing two walks and on a 1-0 pitch count, Giants catcher Patrick Bailey took him deep for a grand slam to walk off the Dodgers in the series opener at Oracle Park.
