The Dodgers battled on Saturday night in St. Louis, erasing a 3-0 early deficit to make it a game in the 6th inning. Unfortunately, lefty standout Victor Gonzalez didn’t have it and served up a 3 run bomb to seal LA’s fate. The offense tried to come back one more time late but just fell short in a heartbreaker thanks to an absolutely terrible strike three call with the tying run on 2nd base and Mookie Betts at the plate in a 3-2 count.
Considering the spray pattern of St. Louis closer who missed badly with three straight pitches, it was a shocking strike three.
