Notable pitching performances in LCS Game 5, teams facing elimination

In the last 10 years, I have noticed some notable pitching performances in a Game 5 LCS game when a team was facing Elimination.

2003: The Marlins were facing Elimination and Josh Beckett pitched a gem to take the NLCS back to Chicago and the Marlins went on to stun the Cubs 4-3.

2007: The Red Sox were trailing the Indians (sound familiar) 3-1 and Josh Beckett was sent to the hill and his Game 5 gem sent the series back to Fenway where the Red Sox beat the Indians 4-3

2012: The Giants, who came back to beat the Reds in the NLDS, were in a familiar spot against the Cardinals in the LCS, down 3-1, they sent Barry Zito to the mound and Zito's gem sent the series back to San Francisco, where the Giants beat the Cardinals 4-3.
