James Outman’s RBI double completes an 8-7 win as Will Smith’s aggressive base running and a defensive play at the plate prove pivotal in a dramatic comeback.
LOS ANGELES ― With an ending that combined a flair for the awkward and the dramatic, the Dodgers beat the Toronto Blue Jays in their final at-bat Tuesday, 8-7.
“It’s a tough one to put into words,” manager Dave Roberts said. “I didn’t expect it. You could tell those guys really wanted it. To our credit, we didn’t quit.” After Freddie Freeman flew out, Will Smith reached base on a routine grounder that ate up Blue Jays third baseman Matt Chapman. The ball was scored a single and the bases were loaded.
“When he comes up, good things seem to always happen,” Roberts said of Taylor. “He’s always coming up in big spots and more times than not he comes up big.”“You’re thinking ‘score’ right when he hits it,” Smith said. “Two outs, you’re thinking ‘go home.’ Right before I hit third base I saw Dino waving me. I’m like, ‘all right, I’ve got to get there, get third base.’ My head is down. I didn’t see him .
The throw was off-line ― Smith had to veer into foul territory to catch it ― but the catcher wheeled home in time to apply the tag as Kiermaier slid into the plate.
