NLCS GAME 4 - "Sad Francisco" - Pirates 6, Dodgers 3

GAME 4
Wood vs Liriano
Pirates 6, Dodgers 3


With their season on the line the Bucs handed the ball to Francisco Liriano, who was magnificent under pressure.  Liriano went 7 and gave up just one run (in the 7th), while fanning 8 along the way.  LA's Wood was fodder.  Andrew McCutchen had his first 2 hit game of the post season.  The slumping centerfielder is hitting just .148 in the post season.  The Bucs need him to remain hot in order to turn this series around.  Francisco Cervelli and Neil Walker each had 2 RBI days.  Lost in the mix was 21 year old rookie Corey Seager's 4 fof 4 day for the losing Dodgers.  Melancon, who pitched a perfect 9th, recorded his second save of the post season.  Pittsburgh gets a much needed win and staves off the first of four elimination chances.
Dodgers lead series 3-1
