The Dodgers are the first team to clinch a spot in the League Championship Series as they eliminate the Braves with a 5 – 4 win in Game 4 of the NLDS; trailing 3 – 2 in the bottom of the 8th, the Dodgers reverse the tide on Juan Uribe’s two-run homer off David Carpenter. Carl Crawford hits a pair of solo homers for Los Angeles’s other two runs. The other Division Series will need a decisive fifth game, however, as the Cardinals even things up with a 2 – 1 win over the Pirates behind rookie Michael Wacha, who keeps the Bucs hitless for 7 1/3 innings. Matt Holliday’s two-run homer off Charlie Morton in the 6th accounts for both St. Louis runs.
