Nats’ season ends with bad decisions in NLDS Game 5 loss

October 16 02:57 2016

In the lead up to the final game of the National League Division Series (NLDS), fans pleaded with officials at the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) to stay open late. The end of Scherzer’s outing was just the start of the trouble. But he was jogging in the outfield during Friday’s full-squad workout at Wrigley Field.

Games are also available for streaming on TBS Sports and you can find even more ways to watch without a cable login from Cut Cable Today. But like they did all season, they figured how to win both the NLDS and a thrilling Game 5.

“The adrenaline rush was pretty good right there”, he said.

To get the final two outs, the Dodgers called on Clayton Kershaw, who threw 110 pitches two days ago. Robert’s had said that he would bring the young star in, but to have saved his arm come in after Blanton was a move that had many in disbelief. At just 28 years old, the left-hander has been named the NL Cy Young victor three times and finished in the top three in voting for the award five times.

“It’s not a trend that I’d like to be a part of any time”, he said.

So that was Hershiser’s moment out of the bullpen, like the one Randy Johnson had for the Mariners in 1995, Game 5 against the Yankees in the old Kingdome, like the one Johnson would have later for the Diamondbacks when he started and won Game 6 of the 2001 World Series for his team and then finished and won Game 7. “I’ve gone through that pain a few times now”, Baker said.

Kershaw wound up with his second pro save. Curiously, his catcher that day was Jansen, who only took up pitching in 2009.

Carlos Ruiz had the go-ahead single in a four-run seventh off Marc Rzepczynski (0-1) and Justin Turner added a two-run triple to give Los Angeles a 4-1 lead.

Roberts and the Dodgers arrived in Chicago on Friday, fresh off a dramatic 4-3 victory at Washington in Game 5 of their NL Division Series.

And in the sort of blink-and-you-missed-it game-shifting sequence, Werth’s inning-ending, overzealous bid to score was followed immediately by Pederson’s homer on Scherzer’s first – and, it turned out, only – pitch of the seventh. “Not those seats – the seats in left field”. Then he struck out rookie Wilmer Difo – who had to pinch-hit for the pitcher in the five hole because Ryan Zimmerman had been double-switched out of the game in the flurry of seventh-inning pitching changes.

The Los Angeles Dodgers face an uphill battle in the 2016 National League Championship Series.

The first National League Championship Game will take place on Saturday, October 15th, at 8:00 p.m. ET in Chicago, Illinois.

The Cubs won a MLB-best 103 games in the regular season. Washington made a decision to save their own ace, Max Scherzer for game five tonight.

“I’m not ready to go home”, Nationals first-year manager Dusty Baker said. Urias entered in the fifth and threw two scoreless innings. “I think it comes down to 25 players against one another”.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – The Giants want to make sure Madison Bumgarner never goes elsewhere.

Joc Pederson, the only player with two hits, led off the seventh with a solo homer to left off Scherzer to tie the game at 1-1. Baker said he was concerned about Kelly’s long-term health because of his history of Tommy John Surgeries. “It would be a miracle if he was”. His batting average dipped to.235, and he came up with just four hits and no home runs.
