Blake Treinen skips Pride Night hat as Dodgers beat Angels 1‑0

During the Los Angeles DodgersPride Night celebration, all teammates wore rainbow‑colored caps except reliever Blake Treinen, who entered the game in a standard blue‑and‑white Dodgers hat. Treinen threw a single pitch to retire the side, after which Freddie Freeman hit a walk‑off home run to give the Dodgers a 1‑0 victory over the Los Angeles Angels.

A fan on X noted, “Last night the Los Angeles Dodgers had their pride night as every player was wearing pride hats. Blake Treinen was not wearing a pride hat when he entered the ballgame.” Treinen, a three‑time World Series champion and devout Christian, has previously spoken about his faith, but offered no comment on the apparent protest. The incident follows a similar episode last season when pitcher Clayton Kershaw added a Bible verse to his pride hat.

The Dodgers remain atop the NL West with a 41‑23 record and will soon travel to Pittsburgh for a series against the Pirates.
