Dave Roberts' late costly mistake just helped Phillies sneak back into NLDS

The Philadelphia Phillies were in do-or-die mode on Wednesday night in Los Angeles. They had their backs against the wall down 0-2, needing to win three straight games to take down the defending World Series champion Dodgers in the NLDS.

The Phillies found themselves in a familiar spot, up 3-1 going into the seventh inning. It's been an area of concern for both teams over the last two games, and the Dodgers decided to go to future Hall of Famer Clayton Kershaw out of the bullpen. Regardless of Kershaw's track record, he blew any chance the Dodgers had of sweeping out the Phillies in Game 3.
