The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Philadelphia Phillies after an 11-inning thriller in Game 4 of the National League Division Series on Thursday night.
The Dodgers had the bases loaded with two outs in the bottom of the 11th off infielder Andy Pages off Phillies reliever Orion Kerkering. Pages fired a shot that bounced to Kerkering, who had difficulty keeping the ball on the court. He was supposed to throw a quick throw to catcher JT Realmuto, but he threw the ball too high and out of reach.
