2006 MLB World Series Game #4: Min. @ LA

 October 26, 2006

   What a comeback by the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 4 of the 2006 World Series! The Minnesota Twins scored 2 runs in the 1st inning, 1 in the 2nd, and 2 in the 3rd chasing Dodger starter Greg Maddux from the mound. With a 5-0 lead Twins starter Carlos Silva was cruising along into the 7th inning when the Dodgers struck. Wilson Betemit hit a 2-run homer to make the score 5-2. Silva got the next 2 batters out before Dennys Reyes was brought in to relieve him. Reyes couldn't retire a batter as the Dodgers put together 4 hits and 2 Twins' errors for 4 more runs and a 6-5 LA lead. Takashi Saito was brought into the game in the 8th inning and managed to work through a Minnesota threat to close it out. The Series is now tied up 2-2.
