Dodgers Highlights: LA Downs Marlins in Extras to Win Series
Throughout his career, Craig Kimbrel has been the guy teams call on when they need a save. On Monday night, it was Kimbrel himself who needed a save as the Dodgers beat the Marlins, 3-2, in 10 innings.
Kimbrel, who has struggled most of the season, pitched a dominant ninth inning to preserve a tie and earn the victory when the Dodgers scored the go-ahead run on an RBI fielder’s choice by Freddie Freeman. Manager Dave Roberts brought Kimbrel back out for the 10th inning, and his command struggled a bit, walking two batters and departing with the bases loaded and one out.
