The Dodgers thought reliever Kenley Jansen was back on track, but he wobbled and Tampa Bay pounced for a wild win in Game 4 of the World Series.
The Dodgers made a costly error on Brett Phillips’ two-out single in the ninth inning, allowing two runs to score for an 8-7 Rays win that ties the World Series at two games each.AdvertisementJansen struck out the first batter, pinch-hitter Yoshi Tsutsugo. He gave up a broken-bat single to the next batter, Kevin Kiermaier. He got Joey Wendle to line out — a ball that was hard-hit, at 98 mph., who had a home run and two singles earlier in the game.
Chris Taylor bobbled the ball, and the relay throw from Max Muncy caromed off the mitt of catcher Will Smith.It is doubtful that Jansen could have recovered the loose ball in time to impact the play, but the fact was that Jansen did not back it up.“I tried to see what could I do, run a little bit more, see the play,” he said.“It don’t matter,” he said. “Tomorrow’s another day. We’re positive in there, I like the atmosphere in there, that’s what we’ve done all year, pick each other up.
