Bryan King made a significant impact during his 22nd major league appearance, stepping into a high-pressure situation to face Bryce Harper with the game tied and a runner on second base. He initially fell behind in the count but managed to walk Harper before striking out Alec Bohm with a series of fastballs. King emphasized the importance of experience and trust in his teammates, crediting conversations with veteran players like Ryan Pressly and Josh Hader for helping him prepare. Despite struggling with his velocity, King maintained effectiveness against left-handed hitters and demonstrated poise in a loud, playoff-like atmosphere.
