Pearce walked in tying run in game 2, and kept the line moving, so next batter, JD, got game winning hit. It wasn't just last 2 games for Pearce. Price didn't pitch in game 4, that was the crucial game. Not game 5. Pearce deserved it. If game 5 was a 2-2 tie that night, then its Price. We were up 3-1, so series not over if we lose.
Then gives Price an immediate 2-0 lead, off Kershaw, before he took the Mound. No for me Pearce.
