15 Apr
Summary
- Alex Vesia struck out all three batters in the ninth inning.
- Medical team supporting Vesia's family attended the game.
- The win marked the Dodgers' MLB-leading 13th victory this season.
In a pivotal moment for the Los Angeles Dodgers, relief pitcher Alex Vesia secured a crucial victory against the New York Mets. On April 15, 2026, Vesia took the mound in the ninth inning, striking out all three batters to seal the team's MLB-leading 13th win. The performance was deeply personal for Vesia, who was visibly moved by the support from the stands.
In attendance was the medical team that had previously supported Vesia and his wife through a profound personal loss late in the previous year. Their presence in a suite at Dodger Stadium served as a powerful motivator for Vesia. He has demonstrated resilience and a career-best start to the 2026 season, with this save being his second of the year.
The energy from the fans, including the cheering medical staff, was palpable as Vesia closed out the game. This victory underscores the camaraderie and support within the Dodgers organization and the broader baseball community. The team aims to complete the series sweep tomorrow with Shohei Ohtani scheduled to pitch.
