In less than 24 hours, the Los Angeles Dodgers went from the edge of falling into a deep chasm to putting their foot on the throats of the Milwaukee Brewers.
It took 13 innings for the Dodgers to square the National League Championship Series in Game 4, and they took a much more conventional victory in the pivotal fifth game.
The Dodgers relied on seven innings of strong pitching from Clayton Kershaw in Game 5, and they earned a 5-2 victory over the Brewers.
The series moves back to Milwaukee for Game 6 Friday night, and Game 7 will be played Saturday at Miller Park, if necessary.
