How many pitches?? Thomas makes history with well-earned homer – MLB.com

LOS ANGELES — There’s battling with two strikes. And then there’s what D-backs center fielder Alek Thomas did in Arizona's 11-2 win over the Dodgers in Game 1 of the National League Division Series on Saturday night.
In the top of the seventh inning, Thomas fell behind Dodgers right-hander Michael Grove, 1-2. That was only the beginning of one of the feistiest at-bats in postseason history.
Remarkably, Thomas would foul off the next 10 pitches. After he watched a curveball in the dirt for ball two, Thomas finally forced Grove into a mistake — a belt-high 2-2 slider. Thomas turned on the offering, wallopping a 427-foot no-doubter into the right-field pavilion at Dodger Stadium, giving the D-backs a 10-0 lead and sending fans to the exits.
At 14 pitches, Thomas’ at-bat was the longest at-bat to end with a postseason home run since pitch counts have been tracked (beginning in 1988). Jayson Werth’s walk-off homer against then-Cardinal and current Dodger Lance Lynn in the 2012 NLDS came on the 13th pitch.
