With Will Klein chugging through the top of the 18th in Game 3, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, just two days removed from his second consecutive complete game, volunteered to pitch and headed out to the Dodgers' bullpen to warm up.
The Dodgers didn't end up calling on Yamamoto — Klein got out of the top of the 18th with a swinging strikeout to put himself in Dodgers' history books, no matter the outcome of the series — but his willingness was all it took to have even the Dodgers' fiercest haters giving him a hand.
It saved LA from certain disaster, too.
