Game 5 Recap: LAD 6, STL 4
The Dodgers have once again made this a series. Thanks to four homers (two by Adrian Gonzalez; one by Carl Crawford and A.J. Ellis), the Los Angeles Dodgers have made this series a one game series, as the Cardinals still lead 3-2. Behind seven solid innings from Zach Greinke (2 ER), and decent bullpen pitching, the Dodgers will send this to a game six, and perhaps give themselves a shot at winning the series. Pete Kozma, Matt Adams, Matt Holliday, and Carlos Beltran provided the offense for St. Louis by each driving in a run. The Cardinals and Dodgers will resume play once again on Friday in St. Louis. LAD 6 | 9 |0 STL 4 | 10 | 0 Game 4 Recap: STL 4, LAD 2 Thanks to a three run first inning capped by a Matt Holliday two-run shot, the Cardinals put the pressure on the Dodgers, and gave breathing room to starting pitcher Lance Lynn. Lynn used all of it, allowing two runs, giving the Dodgers a legitimate chance to win this game. They didn't however, as Shane Robinson (only 2 HR in regular season) homered, sealing the deal for St. Louis. They take a 3-1 series lead, and have a shot to win it today at 4:07 PM (Kelly vs. Greinke). STL 4 | 6 | 0 LAD 2 | 8 | 1 Game 3 Recap: LAD 3, STL 0 Hyun-Jin Ryu tossed seven shutout innings, allowing only three hits and striking out 4. Behind Yasiel Puig's RBI Triple and other Dodgers offensive forces (Adrian Gonzalez and Hanley Ramirez each added an RBI), the Dodgers give Adam Wainwright his first loss of the postseason and snap their stretch of being shutout at twenty-two innings. The series is now 2-1 in favor of St. Louis; they play again today at 8:07 PM (Lynn vs. Nolasco). LAD 3 | 9 | 0 STL 0 | 4 | 0 Game 2 Recap: STL 1, LAD 0 Since 2008, the Dodgers have gone 2-10 in NLCS games. Yes, they are struggling mightily in this series, not getting the breaks they need, and not coming through when needed. Clayton Kershaw pitched a nearly flawless six innings, allowing only one unearned run on a Jon Jay sacrifice fly. Dodgers hitters went 5-for-32 with 13 strikeouts against wonderful pitching from Michael Wacha, and the Cardinal bullpen. Wacha pitched 6.2 shutout innings, while striking out eight. The Cardinals now lead the series 2-0, as they head to Dodger Stadium for game three on Monday. STL 1 | 2 | 1 LAD 0 | 5 | 0 Game 1 Recap: STL 3, LAD 2 (F/13) The Cardinals took a great outing by Joe Kelly (six innings; two runs), and almost wasted it numerous times. Both teams scored two runs in the third inning, and that was how it stayed, until the bottom of the thirteenth. Carlos Beltran, who had already driven in the first two runs of the game, came up with runners on first and second. He delivered like he always does in the postseason. With a RBI walk-off single, Beltran and the Cardinals take game one of the NLCS. Lance Lynn took home the win with two scoreless innings of relief. STL 3 | 7 | 0 LAD 2 | 9 | 0
