Dodgers show no panic and dominate Padres to force a decisive NLDS Game 5

LA Times  

In the hours before Game 4 of the National League Division Series at Petco Park on Wednesday night, there was a quiet but palpable belief around the Dodgers dugout, one that belied the seemingly dire state in which they found themselves. “We did what we’re capable of doing.” Unlike last year, when they were blanketed by Arizona Diamondbacks pitchers in a season-ending loss, the Dodgers’ lineup looked locked in from the jump, scoring three times in the first two innings against Padres starter Dylan Cease, who was pitching for the first time in his career on three days’ rest, before adding two more in the third inning to stake the bullpen to a 5-0 advantage. “We’ve got eight, nine, 10 guys that can all come in in very high-leverage situations, and I think it shows.” Now, this Dodgers team will live to see another day, having tied the best-of-five series at two games apiece to force a decisive fifth game back at Chavez Ravine. “ back-to-back days, it’s a little tough,” said Freeman, who was removed early for the second time this series in Tuesday’s game. “We have the players and the people that can make this happen,” Teoscar Hernández said of the Dodgers’ attempt to come back in this series.
