One of the greatest non-elimination World Series games you’ll ever see ended in spectacular fashion with the Tampa Bay Rays winning 8-7 vs. the Los Angeles Dodgers.
If you went to bed early on Saturday night, you missed one of the craziest finishes to a World Series game of all time.
In a back-and-forth game between the Rays and Dodgers, the Rays finished on top after Brett Phillips drilled a pitch from Kenley Jansen to right-center that scored Kevin Kiermaier to tie the game. But the throw from Chris Taylor was bobbled by Will Smith at the dish which allowed Randy Arozarena to take an extra base on the error and score the game-winning run on the error.
Rays win 8-7. Mayhem ensues.

This is a play that could launch the Rays ahead of Game 5 when it looked like the Dodgers could have taken a stranglehold on the series and taken a 3-1 series lead and could have closed things out on Sunday.

Now, the series is tied 2-2 and it’s a best-of-3 series where the Rays have all the momentum and the Dodgers go to bed tonight wondering how they let this one slip away. At least the Dodgers have Clayton Kershaw going for them in Game 5 as they attempt to quell the Rays newfound momentum and seize control of the series and take a 3-2 series lead.
Baseball fans will never forget where they were for this ending.
That was Brett Phillips' 3rd career postseason plate appearance.
