Instant WorldSeries classic.
ARLINGTON, Texas -- The Tampa Bay Rays pulled off one of the wildest finishes in World Series history, stunning the Los Angeles Dodgers, 8-7, and evening the World Series at 2-games apiece.
Down to their last strike, Brett Phillips hit a two-out single that was going to tie the game, but when center fielder Chris Taylor had trouble picking it up, Arozarena was sent home. He started running, but three-fourths of the way to home, fell down. Dodgers first baseman Max Muncy’s throw caromed off the glove off catcher Will Smith, and as the ball rolled to the backstop, Arozarena slid home, scoring the winning run, and slapping his palm on home plate.
The Dodgers had led for 14 consecutive innings with Turner becoming the first player in World Series history to homer in the. They were cruising with a 4-2 lead until the Rays’ dormant offense finally came to life. It began with rookie Randy Arozarena leading off the sixth with his third hit of the game, and 26th of the postseason, tying Pablo Sandoval for the most hits in a single postseason. Ji-Man Choi walked, but pinch-hitter Austin Meadows struck out on three pitches. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts summoned Pedro Baez out of the bullpen to face Lowe.
Lowe, who hit two home runs in Game 2, drove a 95-mph fastball into the left-center-field seats, giving the Rays a 5-4 lead, stunning the pro-Dodgers crowd of 11,441.The Dodgers came right back with a leadoff single by Corey Seager and a double by Turner, but were still on the basepaths when reliever Nick Anderson intentionally walked Cody Bellinger, loading the bases.
