The Rays-Dodgers game was the final one to finish up last night. So, I flipped over to the game on my Roku, selected the home broadcast, and caught the last two innings.
The Dodgers were down 6-3 heading into the bottom of the ninth. Then, they just went nuts, and Vin Scully was in fine form. Skip Schumaker sent a soft fly ball to left center field. After Dee Gordon struck out, Mark Ellis tripled on a lazy fly ball to left that Ben Zobrist laid out for, and could not come up for, scoring Schumaker. Nick Punto then golfed a seeing eye double just inside the left field line, scoring Ellis to make it 6-5. Adrian Gonzalez then doubled to right, sending Punto home, tying it up. After Yasiel Puig was intentionally walked, Jerry Harriston, Jr hit a fielder's choice to first. Gonzalez scored on a throwing error to second by Ray closer Fernando Rodney.
Vin summed it up, as only he can. "the magic is here, even at home", a nod to the recent 17 game winning streak the Dodgers have had on the road.
