Draymond Green reacts to Dodgers vs. Rays epic World Series Game 4

Following a back-and-forth battle between the Dodgers and the Rays, Draymond Green chimed in on Twitter with a reaction to Game 4 of the World Series.

After watching Khabib Nurmagomedov’s win over Justin Gaethje inside the Octagon at UFC’s Fight Island, Draymond Green turned his attention to the baseball diamond.

On Saturday night, the Los Angeles Dodgers and Tampa Bay Rays took center stage for game four of the World Series. The Dodgers were looking to take a 3-1 lead, while the Rays looked to even the series at 2-2.

With 24-year-old right-hander Julio Urias on the mound, the Dodgers quickly jumped out to an early lead on a solo home run from Justin Turner. Corey Seager followed Turner in the third inning, homering to give Los Angeles a 2-0 advantage.

However, the Rays bats came alive in the bottom of the fourth inning. Breakout star Randy Arozarena drilled a deep shot to get the Rays on the board. The Rays rookie’s ninth playoff dinger set a new record for most home runs in postseason history.

Over the next stretch of innings, the Rays and Dodgers traded the lead with home runs and RBIs on each side. After the Rays and Dodgers back and forth, Green weighed in on social media. In a message on Twitter, Green called the moment “big time baseball!”

The Rays and Dodgers battle was only a preview of what would happen in the final inning. Heading into the bottom of the ninth, the Dodgers were holding on to a one-run advantage.

A single from Kevin Kiermaier and a walk from Arozarena put Brett Phillips at the dish with a chance to either tie or win the game for the Rays. Phillips flared a bloop single to shallow center field. Upon fielding the shot from Phillips, Dodgers center fielder Chris Taylor fumbled the ball, giving Kiermaier and Arozarena the time to race around the bases.

A cutoff throw from Max Muncy triggered a play at the plate. Yet, Dodgers catcher Will Smith let the ball slip out of his glove, giving Arozarena the chance to easily score despite falling on the third baseline.
