Dodgers, ever resilient, knock off Nationals to set up showdown with Cubs
'WASHINGTON – In a postseason marked by clubs aiming to end championship droughts, the year 1988 does not conjure the same sense of desperation that 1908 or even 1948 evoke. '
'Scherzer was at 98 pitches entering the seventh and Nationals manager Dusty Baker had a decision to make. '
'It tied the game, and precipitated a 66-minute inning that saw both teams combine to deploy seven pitchers – the Nationals five. '
'Third baseman Justin Turner applied the first body blow to Nationals ace Max Scherzer, putting up a 14-pitch at-bat in the fourth inning to draw a walk. '
'Yet, the Los Angeles Dodgers have seen their own travails in the nearly three decades since Orel Hershiser and Kirk Gibson last brought a championship to Chavez Ravine. '
