And then offensively, the walk, the homer, just really looked good.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Then, the Dodgers manager was asked about the play that lost them the game. Cardinals&#8217; outfielder roped a single into left-center field that tied the game at three. The throw comes into third base, where Alex Freeland could not tag out the runner. He then tried to throw the ball to Miguel Rojas at second, as Walker was advancing on the throw.
