2020 World Series Dodgers vs Rays Game 4 They leave the Dodgers lying on the ground
Reuters
There are times when reality is stranger than fiction, that what happens is so crazy that nobody I would have imagined. Game 4 of the World Series followed the 2020 trend, that the impossible and the unimaginable are redefined, so that the Tampa Bay Rays equaled the Fall Classic by leaving the Dodgers on the ground, with a score of 8-7.
Tampa Bay was twice to one Strike from falling 1-3 in the World Series, which is basically a death sentence. The first was his best bat, who extended his turn and his life with a passport, leaving the one who was perhaps the last player they would have wanted in that situation, Brett Phillips, who had only two at-bats in the entire postseason. Worthy of hollywood, but this did not end with a home run, but in a play accident: hit from the stranger that barely frees the infield, bad fielding in the outfield, shot at the plate, a runner who fell and was sentenced, but the ball was runs off to the ctcer and Tampa wins one more game for the Kenley Jansen’s postseason nightmare list.

But first, a crazy game. The Dodgers took the lead the same way they did in Game 3: Justin Turner’s solo homer with two outs in the first, maintaining the idyll of the team to generate rallies with two out.

Another came, also with two outs, when Corey Seager broke the wall on the third. This looked like a copy of Game 1, more with a Julio Uras in the dominant plan … but Dave Roberts appeared.
The Dodgers manager made strict use of his little book again. He was not going to let Uras go through the third time line up and he pulled it out when he’d only made a couple of mistakes on solo home runs by Arozarena and Renfroe. Even with that, he had it 3-2, he had no men on base and Roberts took the ball one out of being able to aim for victory, generating a level of hatred of the Mexican fans Maxi Rodriguez level.
And the shot backfired, as Pedro Bez failed to allow a three-run home run in the bottom of the sixth inning to 5-4, the first somersault so far in the World Series.
That ball is gone!

The taste was short lived, because Joc Pederon produced two, for several with two outs, in the top of the seventh for the Dodgers to go up 6-5.

It was immediately tied by Tampa, with a homerun by Kevin Kiermaier, but Los Angeles seemed to take the definitive advantage in the eighth with a Seager’s rotten hit that landed on good ground and brought Taylor to the plate for 7-6, again with two outs, which ended eight half-innings in a row with runs scored and was the Dodgers’ sixth run produced with two outs, both untold events in World Series history.

And it looked all set: Dodgers with their first shot at Kershaw on the hill Sunday … but Tampa refused to die. Kenley Jansen singled to Kiermaier with one out in the first. Wendle made solid contact, but Pederson ran well and put him out when it looked like it might be the tying hit. Arozarena went up to the plate, with the memory that last night the ball disappeared to the Dodgers closer. The Cuban was on a 1-2 count, but defended himself, almost struck out regretfully and finally negotiated a passport.
Turn for Phillips, who the previous inning came in to run for Choi when the Korean reached second with two outs. It was definitely not the bat that generated the most hope since He wasn’t even on the roster in the Championship Series against Houston. He only made a defensive switch in the ninth of Game 2, so he hadn’t taken the stake. He also counted for 1-2, but contacted a cutter Curaçao, barely fought the special formation, Taylor does not lift the ball clean, it takes a while that allows Arozarena to cheer up to go to the plate to seek the triumph, but falls halfway. The receiver Smith does not realize that and tries to take the ball and turn fast to put the Cuban out, but the ball slips out of him and Arozarena, after a little step tun-tn, scores to tie the Fall Classic. Unforgettable.
