It took more than five hours to accomplish their goal Tuesday night but the Dodgers won to even the series. With a quick turnaround, they hand the ball to Clayton Kershaw with an eye on taking the advantage in what is now a best-of-three scenario.
For all the weight the game carries in terms of the season, Game 5 could be the final time Kershaw takes the mound for the home team at Dodger Stadium. It’s been well-documented — especially recently — that the 30-year-old can opt out of the remaining two years of his contract.
