The Los Angeles Dodgers played deep into Tuesday night to defeat the Milwaukee Brewers 2-1 and level their scores in Game 4 of the NCLS 2-2.
In a tight, low-scoring game, LA’s Cody Bellinger recorded two-out singles at the expense of Junior Guerra and Manny Machado to help his team snatch a 2-1 victory in the 13th winning. Despite the win, the Dodgers came into the game with only two runs in 23 innings.
While anticipating Clayton Kershaw’s presence in Game 6, Bellinger believes better things are bound to come for his team.
“We’ve got Kershaw on the mound tomorrow,” Bellinger said, “We like our chances.”
The Dodgers opened the match in style with a first-inning home run. Gio Gonzalez walked a batter and then made a hit with runner Brian Dozier in scoring position. Gonzalez did not last in the game though. He twisted his ankle in the second inning before rookie Freddy Peralta substituted him.
The Brewer’s got their first hit in the fourth inning when Jesus Aguilar singled Rich Hill’s pitch. But the Dodger had the better of players. Almost every player from LA had turned up for the match but scores hardly came by. The Dodgers and the Brewers will face off again three times to complete the NCLS series.
