The victory was arguably the most important of Zack Greinke's three seasons with the Dodgers.
But Greinke became noticeably uncomfortable when he was asked about the most important play of the 5-2 victory over the New York Mets on Saturday night, which tied their National League division series at one game apiece.
"Sorry, I don't really want to talk about it," Greinke said. "I try to not get involved in confrontation anymore."
There was a reason for that.
The play in question was violent and borderline illegal: a takeout slide at second base by Chase Utley that broke the right leg of Mets shortstop Ruben Tejada.
