The Dodgers and Clayton Kershaw have a chance to change the script on Tuesday night in Game 4 of their National League Division Series against the Mets. With a road elimination game at hand and a five-game monkey squarely on Kershaw's back, Game 4 can either add more fuel to the fire or turn things around for a Dodgers team in desperate need of ... something.
The club hasn't won a playoff elimination game on the road since the 1981 National League Championship Series in Montreal. Down 2-1 to the Expos, the Dodgers won Game 4, 7-1, by scoring two runs in the eighth to break a tie then four more in the ninth, then won a tight Game 5 thanks to a ninth-inning home run by Rick Monday off Steve Rogers that sent the Dodgers to the World Series.
