The Dodgers-Rays World Series was always going to be a matchup of baseball's best lineup and its deepest bullpen—and then the bottom of the ninth inning in Game 4 happened.
It was two-out, walk-off single from Brett Phillips, a pinch runner and defensive replacement who was left off the Championship Series roster, that decided a wild World Series Game 4. The Rays won, 8–7, to even the World Series at two games a piece.
Phillips, a career .202 hitter, ran for Ji-Man Choi in the eighth inning and stayed in to play right field in the ninth.
