Andre Ethier yells at Don Mattingly in dugout

Whoever loses tonight will be eliminated from the postseason.

Kyle Schwarber was the only one of those rookie boppers who showed off his power for the Cubs, hitting a mammoth homer that chased Harvey with two outs in the eighth and pulled Chicago to 4-2.

Is Clayton Kershaw available for Game 5?

There is no doubt; it was a thrilling night for New York as the team managed a victory visiting m thanks to Daniel Murphy’s home run and stolen base, which gave the Mets a slim margin to advance to the NLCS for the first time since 2006. That is easily the most expensive home average for an LCS recorded since at least 2010, when TiqIQ began tracking secondary market ticket data. This is the biggest game of his career.

They can’t afford to have 13 more strikeouts and cross the plate only once.

Los Angeles hasn’t reached the World Series since 1988.

Game 5 will be played on Wednesday, October 14 at 8 p.m. EDT on Fox Sports 1. “We have them dressed in undercover gear so they look just like a fan of one or another team’s, so people will never know whether the person standing next to them with a Mets jersey is an LAPD officer or not”.

There is still Zack Greinke to deal with, as well.

The Cubs announced Thursday that Jon Lester would start Game 1 and Jake Arrieta in Game 2. Back on July 4, he shutout the Mets for seven innings during his epic scoreless innings streak that was eventually snapped at 45.2 by those same Mets when Greinke met them in Queens on July 26.

The deGrom RBI is a reminder of how the hurlers in this game can have an impact with their bats.

Murphy had a hit in each of the five division series games, including a 3-for-4 effort in the clincher, and he finished the series 7 for 21 with a double, three homers and five RBIs.

Harvey threw to first for the out and immediately waved off Mets trainer Ray Ramirez, who came out to check anyway with manager Terry Collins before leaving Harvey in the game. The good news for them is that they’re better suited to break through against a right-handed ace than against Kershaw. Add in the reverse splits of the right-handed Cespedes, and it becomes obvious that Kershaw was the bigger threat. DeGrom not having his best stuff but finding a way to win. “Our starters, our bullpens, they’re young, yeah, they’re inexperienced”. Jeurys Familia got four outs for his third playoff save and the Mets jumped ahead in their first NLCS since 2006.
