Washington evened the best-of-five series at 2-2 and forced a decisive Game 5 on Wednesday night in Los Angeles. Both teams have won one game at home and one game on the road. The Dodgers opened the scoring with Justin Turner’s solo shot in the first inning. Turner pulled a 95 mph fastball over the wall in left field for his second homer of the series and the ninth postseason homer of his career.

In the fifth, the Nationals added four more runs to seize a 5-1 advantage. Rendon singled to left field to drive in Trea Turner, and Zimmerman slammed a three-run homer three batters later. Zimmerman, who increased his total to four career postseason homers, has 13 postseason RBIs, breaking a tie with Bryce Harper for the franchise record.
