LOS ANGELES — Six months of regular-season chasing wasn’t enough. The Los Angeles Dodgers are still trying to run down the San Francisco Giants in October. And now, after 23 games this season between these ancient and bitter rivals, last call arrives with Game 5 on Thursday night.
In Tuesday’s Game 4, with Walker Buehler working on short rest for the first time in his career, the Dodgers quickly made it clear that their season would not end that night. In front of 52,935 roaring — and anxious — fans at Dodger Stadium they demolished the Giants, 7-2.
