NLDS Game 4: Dodgers @ Cardinals

This afternoon, the Dodgers look to tie the NLDS at 2 and bring the series back to Chavez Ravine after suffering a loss last night. This game is an elimination game for the Dodgers and they will be putting their best foot forward with Clayton Kershaw on the mound. Tonight's game is slated to start at 2:07pm PT. Here's how it's going to look:

The Dodgers' Don Mattingly, before the start of yesterday's game, decided that Clayton Kershaw would get the start over Dan Haren; and that is who is on the mound for the Dodgers. The Dodgers also decided to bench Puig who is only a mere 3-for-12 with 8 K throughout the entire series. Andre Ethier, making his first start this series, will be the replacement in CF for Puig and hopefully with bring a hot bat to the plate. Other than that change, both the Dodgers and the Cardinals lineups are the same. Both teams are hoping to win, if the Cardinals win they will go on to the NLCS to face either the San Francisco Giants or the Washington Nationals (who have a series at 2-1 with SF leading). On the other hand, the Dodgers are looking to win so they can tie up the series and bring it back to the Ravine and have Greinke lead them to the NLCS. But first, let's see the lineups:

Dodgers:

1. Gordon 2B
2. Crawford LF
3. Gonzalez 1B
4. Kemp RF
5. Ramirez SS
6. Ethier CF
7. Uribe 3B
8. Ellis C
9. Kershaw P

Cardinals:

1. Carpenter 3B
2. Grichuck RF
3. Holliday LF
4. Peralta SS
5. Adams 1B
6. Molina C
7. Jay CF
8. Wong 2B
9. Miller P

This game is critical for both teams, and both teams are looking to advance their seasons. The Dodgers need to win this game to keep their chance at moving on. After tonight's loss and with Kershaw on the mound, this game should be an exciting one. Watch this afternoon on Fox Sports 1!
