This is just my opinion, but .......................
if I was Maddon, I would have brought out Shields tonight to start inning 6. The guy could have gone well into extras if needed. They then would have still been able to use Garza in game 6 and come back with Kazmir in game 7 with plenty of rest.
I have not been listening to ESPN and other blowhards so I do not know if this has been discussed. Seems like a simple call. Why do you need a reliever?
