Phillies reliever calls his crushing season-ending error a 'horses--- throw'

The Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Philadelphia Phillies 2-1 after a walk-off in the 11th inning caused by a pitcher error. Colin Cowherd discusses the win for the Dodgers and whether they should have won the series against the Phillies.

Philadelphia Phillies reliever Orion Kerkering talked about his season-ending mistake during the team's 2-1 Game 4 NLDS loss Thursday at Dodger Stadium that sent the Los Angeles Dodgers to the National League Championship Series.

Kerkering, 24, was pitching in a 1-1 game in the bottom of the 11th inning. The bases were loaded and there were two outs. 

Dodgers outfielder Andy Pages hit a ground ball right back to Kerkering, who didn’t field the ball cleanly. Kerkering scrambled to pick up the booted ball and fired a wayward throw toward home plate, allowing the run to score.

If Kerkering had looked up before he threw the ball, he would have seen catcher J.T. Realmuto pointing to first base, telling him to throw there. 

The Phillies' reliever could have gathered himself and thrown to first base to record the final out of the inning but instead threw to home. 

Kerkering said the pressure got to him. 

"Just hit off my foot, once that pressure got to me, (I) just thought it was a faster throw to J.T., a little quicker throw than trying to cross body it to Bryce (Harper at first base)," Kerkering told reporters after the game.
