Orion’s melt: Dodgers eliminate Phillies from MLB playoffs after Kerkering’s devastating error

• Pitcher throws wide of home plate as Dodgers seal victory

• Los Angeles seal best-of-five series 3-1 and head to NLCS

The Los Angeles Dodgers are heading back to the National League Championship Series after an extraordinary error from Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Orion Kerkering ended his team's season.

With the scores tied at 1-1 and the bases loaded with two outs in the bottom of the 11th inning, the Dodgers' Andy Pages hit a routine grounder to Kerkering. But the 24-year-old fumbled the ball and, instead of going to first for an easy out, he threw it wide of catcher JT Realmuto at home plate as Hyeseong Kim scored the winning run.
