LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - All season long, the Los Angeles Dodgers have relied on their one-two pitching punch of Clayton Kershaw and Zack Greinke, and it has been no different in their National League Division Series.

Left-hander Kershaw, pitching on just three days' rest after a loss in Game One, thwarted the Mets in a 3-1 win in New York on Tuesday as the Dodgers staved off playoff elimination to tie up the best-of-five series at 2-2.
