Down 1-0 after six innings, facing just nine outs remaining in their season, the Dodgers reminded us of a quote from manager Dave Roberts on Tuesday after Game 4.
“If anyone gives up on this team, they haven't seen us play a whole lot this year,” Roberts said.
True to form, the Dodgers rallied for four runs in the seventh inning, not only getting a dominant Max Scherzer out of the game but also adding three runs against a Nationals bullpen that allowed only two runs in total in the first four games of the series.
Then they held on for dear life.
