Embraces all around for a tough close game that ended in a surprising way.
Last night the Dodgers won on a walk-off balk.... That's right, they won 'cause a rookie pitcher just a couple months past his 22nd birthday did a little fidget while standing set to deliver his pitch. What caused it can be attributed to third base runner Kike Hernandez; who did a fake steal for home. Per Ken Gurnick at MLB.com:
Hernandez, game enough to wear a banana suit if it'll trigger a rally, jumped at the chance for a mock steal of home and Kela flinched.
