"But both stepped up when they were needed most Thursday, with Edman singling to start the game-winning rally and Pages' soft comebacker to the mound starting the strange play that gave the Dodgers a 2-1 win over the Philadelphia Phillies in Game 4 of the National League Division Series. The victory sends the team on to next week's NL Championship Series against the Chicago Cubs or Milwaukee Brewers."
"For Edman, baseball's biggest stage has long been a comfortable place. If teammate Kiké Hernández has proven to be one of the best postseason players in recent history, Edman isn't far behind. In five playoff series with the Dodgers, Edman, a .258 hitter in the regular season, is batting .306. And last October he had 11 hits and 11 RBIs against the Mets in the NLCS, winning MVP honors."
Tommy Edman delivered a leadoff single in the 11th inning that initiated the game-winning rally and helped the Dodgers beat the Phillies 2-1 in Game 4 of the NLDS. Andy Pages' soft comebacker to the mound triggered an odd play that ultimately produced the go-ahead run. The victory advances the Dodgers to the NL Championship Series against the Chicago Cubs or Milwaukee Brewers. Edman has performed strongly in the postseason, hitting .306 across five playoff series compared with a .258 regular-season average, despite an ankle injury that limited him to 97 games and a .225 season average.
