Heart pumping, nerve rattling events occurred in the 8th inning of New York’s attempt to send the Dodgers home for the Fall. A tick of the bat and consequently a walk to put the tying runs on base against Kenley Jansen only tightened the noose around the Dodger necks!
But something good happened along the way, Jansen powered through the pesky Daniel Murphy for the final out of the 8th and then wiffed through Yoenis Cespedes, and Travis d’Arnaud before Lucas Duda flied out to defensive replacement Joc Pederson in centerfield for the final out and a PLAYOFF PLANE TICKET TO LOS ANGELES for Game 5 and a shot to play the Chicago Cubs in the NLCS.
