"I realized that when I looked around in the bullpen and my name was the only one still there. "I was just going to go until I couldn't, and that's kind of what happened and. Thankfully, Freddie saved us from Yamamoto having to do the same thing.""
""I started to feel it, and there were times when, like, you're starting to feel down and, like, you feel your legs aren't there or your arm's not there, and you just got to be like, 'Well, who else is going to come save me, you know?'

Freddie Freeman hit a walk-off home run in Game 3 of the 2025 World Series, giving the Dodgers a 2-1 series lead over the Toronto Blue Jays. Nine Dodgers pitchers combined to allow one run across the final 13.1 innings at Dodger Stadium. Will Klein threw the final four innings on 72 pitches, doubling his previous Major League single-game high. Klein had not been on the Dodgers postseason roster until the World Series. He battled fatigue, worked around two walks and a wild pitch in the 18th, and leaned on teammates' encouragement to finish strong.
