On a field littered with players possessing nine-figure contracts, a pitcher making the league minimum was likely the most significant performer during Game 3 of the World Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Toronto Blue Jays.
Little-used reliever Will Klein heroically threw four innings of shutout ball for the Dodgers en route to a wild 6-5 victory in a game that ended in the 18th inning courtesy of a Freddie Freeman walk-off homer.
For a player that’s bounced around the big leagues, it was stunning to see Klein step up on the biggest stage and perform at a level no one would’ve dreamed of.
