GAME 1 - Dodger Stadium
deGrom vs Kershaw
Dodgers 5, Mets 4 (10 inn)
Both teams got identical 7IP/4ER lines out of their respective aces. Neither ace factored in the decision. Both were victims of the long ball. The difference maker was the 3 scoreless innings of relief by Yimi Garcia. LA won on a walk off PH homer by Jimmy Rollins in the bottom of the 10, off of Hansel Robles. Losing via walkoff hurts. It hurts even more when it's served up by your arch rival and former Philly J-Roll.
Dodgers lead series 1-0

Cy Young candidate Zack Greinke was all that he was advertised. The man with the flowing blonde locks fanned 10, while walking one in 7+ innings of work. The Dodgers scored 6 runs in the middle innings to make Greinke's day in the office seem more like a walk in the park. LA hit 3 more long balls inclding solo shot by Greinke.
Dodgers lead series 2-0
GAME 3 - Citi Field
Anderson vs Harvey
Mets 4, Dodgers 0
Matt Harvey (7IP / 9K's) and the Met pen combined to shutout the Dodgers and stave off elimination. LA would get just 3 hits on the day while NY would ride the hot bat of Yoenis Cespedes (2-4, 3RBI), who hit two long blast deep into the Flushing night. Travis d'Arnaud chipped in with 2 hits of his own and an RBI. Harvey threw 100 pitches and Scott Boras was nowhere to be found. Baseball like it oughta be !
Dodgers lead series 2-1
GAME 4Kershaw vs Matz
Dodgers 17, Mets 5
LA scored early and often off of Long Island native, and life long Met fan Steven Matz. Still New York was leading 4-3, until the top of the 6th when LA posted two touchdowns. Matz, Colon and Niese combined as victims in an inning where LA sent 18 ment to the plate. The inning started with a walk to Yasiel Puig and a 2 run shot by A.J. Ellis. Pinch hitter Chase Utley, who was booed loudly for at least 5 straight minutes, had a double and a homer in the inning. A-gone also added a homer. Lost in the shuffle was the fact that Dodger ace Clayton Kershaw was once again small in a big spot. When your team scores 17 runs no one notices that you gave up 10 hits and 4 runs in 4.1 innings of work. LA expects big things from the 3 time Cy Young award winner in the NLCS or their season will be over.
Dodgers win series 3-1
