Dodgers throw convention out the window in Game 5 win

I’m not even sure where to begin.

The Dodgers won a baseball game on Thursday night in one of the most unique, unconventional and thrilling ways possible. But their 4-3 win over the Nationals was not only a game that will be remembered for years to come had they won or lost, but it was also a 4½-hour test of wills.

The seventh inning took 66 minutes from top to bottom, and was almost a game in itself. But to start there does a disservice to the amazing six frames that came before it.

Rich Hill started on three days rest for the first real time in his career, and threw 55 pitches in recording his eight outs.
