LOS ANGELES – They scored two points in their last 23 innings, treat runners as deadly foes and have struck 31 times over the past two games.
However, one way or another, these Los Angeles Dodgers are not only very alive in this series of National League championships, they will enter a 5th match on the strength of one win at a time strange and potentially galvanizing.
Cody Bellinger netted a junior RBI single at Junior Guerra with two outs in the 13th inning, scoring Manny Machado to the winning streak while the Dodgers defeated the Milwaukee Brewers 2-1 in Game 4 of the LNS.
They even drew with the Brewers at two games each, thanks to eight stellar innings of the white game in their enclosure, which had no man at the end of the game. Julio Urias, the 22-year-old who only threw five innings since May 2017 due to a shoulder injury, was the last man standing – and the winning pitcher.
The dizzying celebration of the Dodgers put an end to the tough battle of their last two games.
Tuesday night's game 4 was virtually won. While the sold-out crowd responded to Enrique Hernandez's demand for energy, this hardly helped to reinforce the Dodgers' attack, whose grim spectacle has made it virtually impossible for the hard work of their relief pitchers against a tough team of Milwaukee brewers.
It turns out that they just had time to impose themselves in this epic 5 hours and 15 minutes for this series to return to Milwaukee.

The game
The reruns in prime time are not supposed to be broadcast before spring, but the Dodgers seemed almost identical to the dead team that had been whitened in the third game.
They had only one out of nine shots with runners in scoring on Tuesday, reducing their playoff total in those situations to 8 for 53 (.151).
This time, a single from Brian Dozier RBI cashed his only first series of this series. After that, it was zeros against five Brewers lifters until further innings.
The Dodgers office was a star in its own right. Starter Rich Hill gave them five qualifying heats – the only flaw: a double of Domingo Santana in the fifth end. Pedro Baez, Kenta Maeda, Caleb Ferguson, Ryan Madson and Kenley Jansen then stepped in to clear the Brewers in five sets. Jansen took the ninth and tenth place until the end of heroic exploits.
State of the brewers
This is one of the top three, and two of those games will be back at Miller Park, where the Brewers played 51-30 during the regular season. They will enter the fifth match in the dilemma of the deployment of the star Hader for a third day in a row, which they have never done. He made 28 shots in the second and third games for the ninth time in his career.
Milwaukee will turn to southpaw Wade Miley – who will exclude the Dodgers from two hits in five innings and two-thirds in the second game – in the fifth game. Miley will make her first career start after three days of rest
State of the Dodgers
They play what can only be described as a disjointed baseball. The Dodgers were eliminated five times in the first five.
Machado, who made waves in a pre-game interview with Fox Sports stating that this obvious hustle and bustle was "not his cup of tea," had a particularly ugly match 4, crowned at the 10th inning when he seemed to intentionally hit the first baseman of the Brewers, Jesus Aguilar. he ran by the bag.
The benches were briefly cleared – the few remaining men in the Dodgers' park jogged – but first-line coach George Lombard led Machado away from Aguilar before the altercation.
It was not much better before.
Brewer striker Gio Gonzalez was sorely missed – he threw 15 balls and only 10 shots into the first set and hit David Freese with a throw. Machado scored 1-0 and made a mistake.
In the fifth, he asked the marble umpire, Hunter Wendelstedt, to mark the hour, after the Brewers reliever, Corbin Burnes, submitted his motion; Wendeldstedt did not give Burnes and Burnes a shot at the center at 95 mph for a third shot. He hit Hader in the eighth end but, again, Hader hits almost everyone.
As for the team as a whole, the Dodgers scored two points in rounds 1 through 6 of this series, one race every 12 innings, if you will. This time it was Brewers rookie Freddy Peralta – who made his Major League debut on May 18 and had not started since September 24 – looking like Walter Johnson at the very beginning of the heat. He relieved Gonzalez – who sprained his ankle during a second leg – in the second inning and pitched three innings without a hit, including six.
But throwing and defense still go a long way. Bellinger, who has played just five games in the right field each of the last two seasons, was replaced in the 10th inning. He made a phenomenal run and slid the ball over the ball from Lorenzo Cain who led the ball to the top of the 10th inning – saving two and maybe three goals.
What you missed on TV
Enrique Hernandez changed his song to Justin Bieber's "Sorry" and "Kike" songs! "Kike!" A crowd. Apparently, Hernandez needed a social media post to deserve Dodger fans' good graces after criticizing their lack of energy after a defeat in Game 3.
