CHICAGO—The ink, from a blue marker hours earlier on the dry erase board inside the Los Angeles Dodgers clubhouse, had begun to fade, but its message was even more indelible after the unprecedented history Clayton Edward Kershaw authored at ancient Wrigley Field on Sunday night.
“Keep Buying into The Process,” it said. “We Will Win This Series.”
Winning the National League Championship Series is not possible for the Dodgers unless they win the games in which Kershaw pitches. Game 2 Sunday night was a must-win for Los Angeles, seeing that the Cubs haven’t lost four out of five games since before the All-Star break.
