Entering today, home teams trailing by 3+ runs entering the bottom of the 9th were 5-502 (.010) this season.

The Dodgers shut the D-Backs out all game, and put in their best relief pitcher to finish the job. Instead, Carson Kelly stepped up for the snakes and tied the game in the 9th. Then in extra innings, he delivered the dagger to put the D-Backs up for good.

The Brewers are in the midst of an EXTREMELY close NL Wild Card battle, and are only 2.5 GB from the Cubs in the Central. Every win counts the same, but this one felt a little special thanks to Thames late-game fireworks.
