Best Dodgers Plays Of 2020 Postseason: No. 9, Clayton Kershaw Throws Out Manuel Margot

The Los Angeles Dodgers winning their first World Series since 1988 came with several memorable plays and moments, which DodgerBlue.com has begun ranking. At No. 9 on the list was Clayton Kershaw stepping off the mound to throw out Manuel Margot on his attempt to steal home.

The momentum-shifting play came in the fourth inning of Game 5 of the World Series. The Los Angeles Dodgers were clinging to a 3-2 lead in a pivotal swing game that was going to put them or the Tampa Bay Rays on the brink of elimination.

Kershaw wasn’t his sharpest facing the Rays a second time, though he was also let down some by the defense behind him.
