"With the bases loaded in the bottom of the 11th in Game 4 of the National League Division Series, that's how the Dodgers secured a 2-1 walk-off win. On a throwing error from Kerkering. On a ball that went sailing to the backstop to allow Hyeseong Kim to score. On a brutal, confounding decision from the Phillies reliever, that unleashed pandemonium inside Dodger Stadium."
"Pages came to the plate next, and swung through a first-pitch sinker. Then, however, came the shocking end. Pages hit another sinker that dribbled in front of the mound. Kerkerking fielded it and - instead of getting what would have been an almost certain inning-ending out at first - inexplicably turned and threw to home instead. The ball sailed on him."
The Dodgers defeated the Phillies 2-1 in 11 innings after a bases-loaded fielding play ended in a throwing error that sent the ball to the backstop and allowed Hyeseong Kim to score. Orion Kerkering fielded Andy Pages' dribbler and inexplicably threw home instead of first, and his throw sailed past J.T. Realmuto. The Dodgers had loaded the bases in the 11th on singles by Tommy Edman and Max Muncy and a two-out walk by Kiké Hernández. The series ended 3-1 in favor of Los Angeles, which advances to the NLCS against either the Milwaukee Brewers or the Chicago Cubs.
