The Los Angeles Dodgers evened the National League Division Series against the New York Mets at 1 on Saturday, notching a 5-2 win.
The Dodgers took control in the 7th inning when Chase Utley slammed Mets shortstop Rubén Tejada as he slid into second base, breaking up a potential inning-ending double play and allowing the tying run to score. Tejada left the game with a fractured right fibula. Originally called out, Utley was later ruled safe at second, even though footage appears to show that, like Tejada, he never touched the base.
