Bellinger breaks out to even series

Cody Bellinger's 13th inning walk-off single to right field in the early morning hours here on the East Coast kept the Dodgers alive in the National League Championship Series.


 Down 2-1 in the NLCS against Milwaukee, another loss would have put the Dodgers in a deep, deep hole.


Instead, the 2-1 thriller knotted the series at 2-2 and gives Los Angeles a shot at advancing to the World Series for the second year in a row.


 Clayton Kershaw gets the ball today and will try to atone for his Game Two disaster when he gave up five runs on six hits and lasted only three innings in a 6-5 loss.



Kershaw will face off against Wade Miley, who held the Dodgers to two hits over 5.2 innings in the Game Two loss to the Dodgers.


In the critical Game Four, Dave Roberts used every player on the roster to outlast the Brewers, who have one of the deepest pens in baseball.


Rich Hill was masterful over five frames before handing the reins over to the pen, where Pedro Baez, Kenta Maeda, Ryan Madson, Caleb Ferguson, Kenley Jansen, Alex Wood, Dylan Floro, and Julio Urias pitched shutout ball to stifle the Brewers.


Bellinger got two of L.A.'s seven hits to raise his playoff batting average to .214, but his walk-off couldn't have come at a better time. L.A.'s other run came in the first inning when Chris Taylor drew a walk, moved to second on a Justin Turner ground out and scored on a Brian Dozier single to left.


L.A.'s defense was stellar with Bellinger and Taylor making circus catches and Turner making a great stab at third.
