Los Angeles Win Evens Series at 2
The Los Angeles Dodgers and the Chicago Cubs will take the Division Series to a decisive 5th game. In a must-win situation today, the Dodgers beat the Cubs 9-3 at Wrigley Field to force the series into what will essentially be a one-game playoff. Los Angeles left-hander Clayton Kershaw had a big role in the win. He threw 5 innings allowing 1 run.

Tyler Wade, the 31-year old left fielder , had a direct impact on the outcome. Wade contributed a 2-run single in the top of the sixth inning to put Los Angeles up, 4-1.

"One win at a time, one game at a time. We try not to get too far ahead of ourselves," Wade told the Los Angeles Herald.

Game 5 is scheduled for Wednesday at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. The scheduled starters for the game are Blake Snell for the Chicago Cubs and Walker Buehler for the the Los Angeles Dodgers.
