Behind seven dominant innings from Clayton Kershaw and a trio of home runs, the Los Angeles Dodgers took a commanding 6-1 lead into the bottom of the eighth. However, what had been a laugher involved some controversy, thanks in no small part to Yunel Escobar.
Brandon Morrow replaced Luis Avilan, who allowed three consecutive hits and one run without recording an out in the eighth inning. Morrow struck out Albert Pujols but then hit Escobar with a pitch to load the bases and bring the tying run to the plate.
The Angels third baseman immediately turned to his dugout and seemingly yelled out of frustration.
