Dodgers Reach NLCS on Phillies' 11th-Inning Error

Los Angeles moves on after an 11th-inning throwing miscue by Orion Kerkering ended a tense pitchers’ duel.

Overview

  • The Dodgers clinched the NLDS 3–1 and await the BrewersCubs winner after Chicago forced a deciding Game 5.
  • Starters Tyler Glasnow and Cristopher Sánchez traded zeros through six, with Glasnow logging six scoreless innings and eight strikeouts and Sánchez allowing one run over 6 1/3.
  • Philadelphia struck first on Nick Castellanos’ RBI double in the seventh before Mookie Betts drew a bases-loaded walk to tie it 1–1.
  • Rookie Roki Sasaki preserved the tie with three hitless innings of relief, and Alex Vesia worked a clean top of the 11th.
  • With two outs in the 11th, Andy Pages’ comebacker was mishandled and Kerkering’s throw sailed past J.T. Realmuto, allowing Hyeseong Kim to score in only the second series-ending walk-off error reported in MLB postseason history.
