Dallas Keuchel loads the bases with one out, gets a big strikeout, then Logan Forsythe
whacks a two-run single. 2-0 Dodgers, batting with two out in the first . . .

They have Logan Forsythe picked off first but Yuli Gurriel throws off line to Jose Altuve,
allowing Kike Hernandez to score and Forsythe to take second . . . the Astros challenge
the call at second, the safe call stands, it's 3-0, Dodgers, they score it E-3 and a stolen
base.

Evan Gattis---leadoff single. Marwin Gonzalez---Dials Area Code 5-4-3. Brian McCann---ground out
to second. The Astros' first threat is only that. 3-0, Dodgers after three . . .

Logan Forsythe hits a one-out double; Austin Barnes drives him in with a two-out single;
Charlie Culberson aboard with an infield single after Jose Altuve knocked his ball down but
couldn't throw Culberson out from the knees, that's going to be all for Dallas Kuechel tonight,
and the Dodgers have a 4-0 lead with two out in the top of the fourth . . . Luke Gregerson
coming in to pitch for the Astros . . .

Gregerson shakes off a wild pitch allowing Barnes to go to third, strikes out Chris Taylor
swinging, Taylor couldn't check his swing, but it's 4-0, Dodgers, middle four . . .

The games within the game:

* Plate umpire Bill Mueller is giving both sides a lot of corner strikes that aren't really
hitting the corners.

* Dallas Keuchel has surrendered ten earned runs in his past three starts this
postseason.

* The Dodgers lifetime when Kershaw has four runs to work with: 100-1.

With first and second (George Springer: leadoff walk; Jose Altuve: one-out single), Carlos Correa
drives in a run and makes it to second on the throw, the Astros get on the board, 4-1, hitting with
one out and second and third in the bottom of the fourth . . .

Clayton Kershaw runs out of fuel with first and second . . . the Dodgers bring in Kenta Maeda on a day
and a half rest after throwing 42 pitches in Game Three . . . Jose Altuve hits a three-run homer and
the game is tied again, this time at seven all with two out in the bottom of the fifth!

The game within the game:

Two games after becoming the youngest since Mickey Mantle to strike out 4 times in a World Series
game, Cody Bellinger became the youngest since Miguel Cabrera to hit a World Series home run.

The Astros roll the dice keeping McHugh in the game . . . he shakes off a one out walk
and preserves the tie. Seven-all, tie game, middle six . . .

Tony Watson comes in to relieve Kenta Maeda after a one-out walk and keeps it there,
we're still tied at seven after six . . .

I'll just use my game notes here:

Brad Peacock pitching for the Astros. He threw 53 pitches in Game Three. Justin Turner---looks at a
strike; fouls one off; ball one down and away; fouls one off; fouls another one off; ball two; ball three
low and away; he fouls one off; fly ball to deep right center, this one's well hit, off the top of the fence,
stays in play, Turner's at second with a leadoff double. Enrique Hernandez---2-1 to him; he gets the
bunt down, too hard, Peacock fields it, throws to third and gets Turner, Hernandez at first with one
away. Cody Bellinger---0-2 to him; lined to center, diving Springer, it's by him and all the way to the
fence straightaway center, Hernandez comes around to score and Bellinger goes to third with the
RBI triple and it's 8-7, Dodgers!!!
