The Los Angeles Dodgers are going with reliever Ryan Brasier as their starter for Game 4 against the San Diego Padres on Wednesday night as they try to avoid elimination in their NL Division Series. Manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday that the Dodgers would go with a bullpen game.

And now they have a chance to banish the ghosts of the past two years when they host their regional rivals in a winner-take-all Game 5 on Friday night at Dodger Stadium.

Betts and Shohei Ohtani both drove in runs in the second inning, and in the third inning, Will Smith launched a 432-foot homer, the longest blast from any hitter in the postseason. The Dodgers tacked on runs in the later innings, including two on a Gavin Lux home run.
