The Los Angeles Dodgers hold their annual Pride Night during a game against the Angels and wear Pride-themed hats. Multiple outlets report that the team’s Pride Night hats are distributed and worn by most players, including in the pregame and early parts of the match. Fox News and the New York Post both note that Dodgers reliever Blake Treinen is the only player who does not wear the Pride Night hat during his appearance.
The New York Post describes Treinen leaving the bullpen without the Pride gear during the ninth inning, when Freddie Freeman hits a walk-off home run to give the Dodgers a 1–0 victory over the Angels. Fox News also reports that Treinen appears to skip the hat during his ninth-inning relief appearance. Fox’s coverage further states that Treinen’s decision is based on his Christian faith and Biblical convictions, and it characterizes outside reactions to the moment as negative.
The reports agree on the key points: Pride Night hats are worn by the Dodgers, Treinen does not wear one, and the game ends with Freeman’s walk-off home run.
