<p>The parade was an opportunity for players, coaching staff, and fans to celebrate the historic <strong>MLB World Series</strong> triumph together. <strong>Shohei Ohtani</strong>‘s teammate <strong>Clayton Kershaw</strong>, the veteran <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-dodgers">Los Angeles Dodgers</a></strong> pitcher, was in attendance and shared his excitement with the fans.</p>



<p>However, the day of celebration also brought some less encouraging news. <strong>Kershaw revealed that he will undergo two surgeries next week: one for his toe and another for his knee.</strong> Although no timeline has been set for his return, the pitcher stated that he plans to play for the Dodgers again in 2025.</p>



<p><em><strong>“This was the coolest thing I’ve ever been a part of,” </strong></em>said Dodgers left-hander <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/clayton-kershaw">Clayton Kershaw</a>. <em><strong>“I’m just so thankful to every single fan that came out</strong>. So thankful for how well they’ve treated me and my family all these years.”</em></p>



<p>“<strong><em>We’ve been through it, you know, we’ve been through some stuff, so to be a</em>ble <em>to see them as happy as they were</em></strong><em>, being able to celebrate with us—it means the world to me. It really does,” </em>he continued.</p>

<p><em><strong>“I’m so thankful that I’m going to get to retire with a Dodger jersey on my back, whenever that day comes,” </strong></em>Kershaw added. <em>“Not soon, but whenever that day comes,” </em>he told <em>SportsNet LA</em>, speaking about his future.</p>

<h2>An uncertain future for Kershaw with the Dodgers</h2>



<p><strong>News of Kershaw’s surgeries raises questions about his future</strong>. Although the pitcher is determined to return, his age and the multiple injuries he has suffered in recent years add a level of uncertainty.</p>



<p>The Dodgers, meanwhile, will need to carefully assess the situation and determine how <strong>they will manage Kershaw’s absence.</strong> While the team has a talented group of young pitchers, Kershaw’s experience and leadership will be difficult to replace.</p>

This season the left hander has a 7-2 record with an impressive 2.13 ERA and 75 strikeouts.</p>
<p>The Dodgers sit in first place in the NL West with a 60-30 record and have an outstanding winning record both on the road and at home. NL manager Brian Snitker made the announcement to the shock of many, but the surprise nod is more of a recognition for the 9-time All-Star.</p>
<p><strong>Kershaw is considered by many to be one of the greatest Dodger pitchers of all-time and a future hall of famer. </strong>The <a href="https://mediaserver.betmgmpartners.com/renderBanner.do?zoneId=1664248" rel="sponsored,nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Dodgers are a heavy favorite to win the World Series</a> this season and Kershaw will be a major piece of that puzzle later on in the season.</p>
<h2>Kershaw speaks on being named All-Star game starter</h2>
<p>The news of Clayton Kershaw being named the National League starter was met with some surprise by many experts but nonetheless his season has been very steady and all-star caliber.</p>

<p>Upon reacting to the news that he’d start ahead of Sandy Alcantara and Tony Gonsolin, Kershaw stated: <em>“It’s hard because obviously Sandy Alcantara, Tony Gonsolin, you can name a bunch, Max Fried, all these guys have better numbers than I do,”</em> Kershaw said.<em> “They should be starting this game and I get that.

He pulled <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/cy-young-award-history-records-and-winners-by-year-20220411-0012.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Clayton Kershaw</a> </strong>out of a perfect game after just 80 pitches and seven innings. The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/betting/mlb-2022-who-has-the-best-odds-to-win-world-series-20220406-0022.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Dodgers’</strong></a>southpaw turned back the clock and<strong> struck out 13 of the 21 hitters he faced.</strong></p>
<p>Kershaw— <strong>who has never thrown a perfect game</strong>— was making his first start of what could be his final season. He struggled with injuries in 2021 and wasn’t even a lock to be on the mound this season at all.</p>
<p><b>Alex Vesia </b>eventually surrendered a hit in the eightand ruined the combined perfect game. But nobody even cared about that anymore. Hell, <strong>even <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/trevor-bauer-sues-the-athletic-for-alleged-defamation-20220330-0008.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dodgers</a> fans had already turned off the TV by that.</strong></p>
<h2>MLB News: Kershaw Doesn’t Blame Dave Roberts For Pulling Him Out</h2>
<p>But even though Roberts stopped him from potentially making history, Kershaw claims that his manager was right to handle his pitch count. Then again,<strong> it’s not like he could’ve said anything different:</strong></p>
<p><em><strong>“Blame it on the lockout, blame it on me not picking up a baseball until January,”</strong></em> the southpaw said after the game, per MLB.com.<em>“My slider was horrible the last two innings. It didn’t have the bite. It was time.”</em></p>
<p><em><strong>“At the end of the day, those are individual things, those are selfish goals,”</strong></em> Kershaw said. <em>“We’re trying to win. That’s really all we’re here for. As much as I would have wanted to do it, I’ve thrown 75 pitches in a sim game. I hadn’t gone six innings, let alone seven.<strong> Sure, I would have loved to do it, but maybe we get another chance. Who knows?”</strong></em></p>
<p><span></span> </p>

<div id="relatedNews-54">     </div>
<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<h2>Dave Roberts Doesn’t Regret His Decision</h2>
<p>Roberts also stood by his decision by stating that it was the best for the player and the ballclub. Yeah, the same Roberts<strong> who’s infamously overworked his starters</strong> with no rest in every postseason series:</p>
<p><em><strong>“I think if I can look back and I feel it’s the best decision — in the best interest of the player’s health and for the ballclub — looking out, then I feel good about it,” </strong></em>the skipper said. <em>“But those guys make it tough on me. But we have good players.”</em></p>
<p><strong><em>“He’s pretty honest and understanding of where he was at, how he was feeling, what’s at stake — the win, the no-hitter, the potential health risk, all that stuff matters,” </em></strong>Roberts added. <em>“There’s no right, 100% answer, but in this case I felt it was very clear to me the right decision was, ‘Give us seven great innings and hand the ball off to the next guy.’”</em></p>
<p><span></span> </p>

<div id="relatedNews-73">     </div>
<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<p>Kershaw has already done it all in the league. He’s literally won every single thing a pitcher can win<strong> and his career will end in Cooperstown</strong>. But there have only been 23 perfect games in MLB history.</p>
<p>Regardless of the shortened Spring Training. Regardless of the pitch count. Even if he couldn’t throw again this season, he’s earned that right. He deserved to make even more history. <strong>And they wonder why people say baseball is dying.</strong></p>

Clayton Kershaw gets real on his near-perfect game

Clayton Kershaw gets real on his near-perfect game - Bolavip US

<p>Death, taxes, and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/dodgers-clayton-kershaw-makes-history-with-world-series-win-over-rays-20201021-0004.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Clayton Kershaw</strong></a> dominating in the regular season. Ever since he emerged with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-news-dave-roberts-guarantees-dodgers-will-win-world-series-20220325-0006.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Los Angeles Dodgers</strong></a>, the southpaw has been one of the <strong>most reliable workhorses in all of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-rumors-yankees-eyeing-two-starters-from-the-as-20220321-0006.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Major League Baseball.</a></strong></p>
<p>Ironically,<strong> those huge workloads</strong> have somewhat limited his ability to contribute come playoff time. He was infamous for his well-documented meltdowns in the postseason. But most of the time he was out there for way too long.</p>
<p>Now, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-rumors-dodgers-plan-after-signing-freddie-freeman-20220317-0006.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Dodgers</strong></a> staris coming off an injury-riddled season and it seems like he’s heading toward the sunset of his career. But even if he could’ve stayed healthy for longer, <strong>he doesn’t regret any of the innings he was on the mound.</strong></p>
<h2>Clayton Kershaw Has No Regrets Despite Being Overused</h2>
<p><em>“I guess your question is: ‘if I would have protected myself more, do you think I would be less hurt and have more time in the future?&apos;”</em> Kershaw said,per the LA Times. <strong><em>“Even if that was true, I wouldn’t change anything.”</em></strong></p>
<p><em>“I don’t have any regrets of what I did, whether it be the short rest or the bullpens or the different things like that,” </em>the southpaw added. <em><strong>“At the end of the day, for the team to count on you and want you to go out there and do it, that’s a huge honor. They paid me a lot of money too. Looking back on it, the only thing I’d say is I wish I’d pitched better.”</strong></em></p>

<p></p>
<h2>Kershaw Says Walker Buehler Deserves To Be The Dodgers’ No.1</h2>
<p>For the first time since taking over, Kershaw won’t be the Dodgers’ Opening Day starter despite being healthy. Even so, he knows that the team is in good hands as <strong>Walker Buehler</strong> has earned that right:</p>
<p><em><strong>“He deserves it,”</strong> </em>Kershaw said.<em> “You pitch well the season before, you deserve it. He’s done that a couple years now. … I’m proud of him. I think he’s done a lot of great things taking the ball every 5th day the way he has kind of been the guy for us. It’s been fun to watch. <strong>I think more than anything we just trust him on the mound. That’s big. I think when your team has trust in you, it’s a good feeling. We’re excited to have him out there.”</strong></em></p>
<p>Kershaw recently signed what might as well be the last contract of his career, so it only makes sense that he wants to be on the mound as often as humanly possible. Hopefully, he’ll stay healthy and give us <strong>a farewell for the ages.</strong></p>

<p></p></div>
<p><span style="color: inherit;font-family: inherit"><strong>Clayton Kershaw</strong> didn’t get a qualifying offer from the <strong>Los Angeles Dodgers</strong> and is now an unrestricted free agent for the first time in his career. And, according to Sports Illustrated, he could follow <strong>Corey Seager</strong> to sign with his hometown <strong>Texas Rangers.</strong></span></p>
<p>Seager admitted to being in constant contact with him when asked about a potential recruiting pitch. Nonetheless, some believe that it’s just a matter of time <strong>before he works out a deal with the Dodgers.</strong></p>
<p>Even so, Kershaw <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-rumors-clayton-kershaw-unsure-about-future-with-the-dodgers-20210211-0006.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">previously addressed retirement</a> before the start of last season. He just welcomed his fourth child and is coming off an injury, so that thought <strong>could be looming around his head again.</strong></p>
<p><span style="color: inherit;font-family: inherit;font-size: 24px;font-weight: bold">Dodgers Want To Sign Freddie Freeman</span></p>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p></p></div>
<p>Even though most people thought <strong>Freddie Freeman</strong> would immediately resign with the <strong>Atlanta Braves,</strong> the California native is also set to become a free agent. And, according to Dodgers insider David Vassegh, some of the heavyweights of the dugout have already reached out to the front office demanding them to sign him:</p>
<p><em><strong>“I had three different Dodger players of significance text me after Seager’s news was announced, ‘Freddie Freeman. Freddie Freeman. Freddie Freeman’,” r</strong></em>eported Vassegh, as quoted by The Inquisitr.</p>
<p>Then again, whether the Dodgers will be willing to offer him six years and also forfeit draft picks to sign him while they still have <strong>Max Muncy</strong> remains to be seen. The fit is there but the hurdles could be tough to get by.</p>
<h3>CBA Talks Still On Hold</h3>

<p></p></div>
<p>And last but not least, it seems like there has been <strong>little-to-no communication between the MLBPA and team owners.</strong> Moreover,Evan Drellich of The Athletic claims that both parties have yet to address the big-money issues of the upcoming CBA:</p>
<p><em><strong>“The parties have had some communication since the owners started the lockout Dec. 2, and a small in-person meeting is planned for Thursday to discuss areas outside of core economics,</strong></em>” reported Drellich.</p>
<p><em><strong>“There are more than 30 subjects in collective bargaining, and not all of them are as contentious as matters like the competitive balance tax or how many years it takes players to get to arbitration,”</strong></em> the report added. <em><strong>“But communication on the big-dollar issues remains on hold. And the explanation for why would depend on whom you ask.”</strong></em></p>

<p>It goes without saying that<strong> Clayton Kershaw</strong> is one of the greatest players to ever get on the mound. He’s dominated his rivals at an almost unprecedented rate and has become<strong> a living institution </strong>within the<strong> <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/los-angeles-dodgers-t110773" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Los Angeles Dodgers</a></strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/los-angeles-dodgers-t110773" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> </a>organization. That’s why it was so relieving to finally see him fulfill his dream of winning a <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/mlb/mlb-all-time-world-series-champions-by-year-20200724-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>World Series</strong></a> after several postseason meltdowns. Other than that, you can argue that he’s had a perfect career as no many other pitchers could brag about.</p>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p></p></div>
<p>But all good things come to an end and Kershaw’s career isn’t the exception to that rule. The veteran has been around <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/mlb-t48464" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Major League Baseball </strong></a>for <strong>14 years</strong> and his deal is set to run out at the end of the season.</p>
<p>And for the first time in his career, it seems like Kershaw has finally come full circle. He’s calmed, relaxed, and focusing on other aspects of his life after winning the ultimate prize, so <strong>baseball may no longer be his priority.</strong></p>

<h2>Clayton Kershaw Is Unsure About His Future In Baseball</h2>
<p>That’s why, in a recent interview with <strong>Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times,</strong> he admitted that he doesn’t have an answer right now about whether he wants to keep on playing beyond this season or not:</p>
<p><em><strong>“I don’t know. Honestly, I wish I had an answer,”</strong></em> Kershaw started.<em> “I wasn’t as enthused to get back going again [in ’21], which is a good thing. It’s a great problem to have. I think every offseason in the past it’s been, ‘I just want to get this done. I just want to do it, do it, do it.’ And there’s this passion and it just constantly builds and builds and builds. And now the pressure is just because we have a great team and we’re supposed to win. That’s awesome,”</em> he concluded.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<p>We always hate to see great players call it a day but it’s not like Kershaw hasn’t done enough already. He’s a <strong>3-time Cy Young award winner, Triple-Crown winner, MVP, Gold Glove winner, 3-time NL wins leader, 5-times NL ERA leader, 3-times NL strikeout leader, threw a no-hitter, and is finally a World Series champion </strong>as well.</p>

MLB Rumors: Clayton Kershaw unsure about future with the Dodgers

MLB Rumors: Clayton Kershaw unsure about future with the Dodgers - Bolavip US

<p>The words <strong>Clayton Kershaw</strong> and Postseason aren’t often sued together positively, as the<strong> <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/los-angeles-dodgers-t110773" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Los Angeles Dodgers</a> </strong>ace has often struggled to replicate his success from the regular season in the playoffs.</p>

The curse is over: Clayton Kershaw makes history with World Series win over Rays - Bolavip US

<p>It goes without saying that<strong> Clayton Kershaw</strong> is<strong> one of the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/mlb/Top-25-most-dominating-pitchers-in-MLB-history-20200504-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">most dominant pitchers</a></strong> in <strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/mlb-t48464" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MLB’</a>s regular-season history.</strong> However, his game takes a massive downfall as soon as September ends and he has to take the mound for the<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/los-angeles-dodgers-t110773" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> <strong>Los Angeles Dodgers</strong> </a>in the postseason.</p>
<p>Kershaw has a reputation for being a down-to-earth, humble, easy-going kind of guy. That, plus his talent and dominance in the regular season, have made him a fan favorite <strong>throughout his 13-year career.</strong></p>
<p>However, he’s also been the target of countless memes and mockery once the playoffs start, as<strong> he turns into a completely different pitcher</strong>and just can’t seem to get the job done vs. the very same batters he faced multiple times earlier in the year.</p>

<p>To put it into context, Clayton Kershaw owns <strong>a 175-76 W-L record with a 2.43 ERA, 15 shutouts, an ERA+ of 158, a WHIP of 1.003, and a FIP of 2.75</strong>. He strikes out <strong>9.7 batters and allows 6.8 hits, 2.3 BBs, and 0.7 homers per 9 innings.</strong></p>

<p>Those numbers are quite different in the postseason where he owns an<strong> 11-12 record with a 4.31 ERA, aWHIP of 1.088, with an average of 7.4 hits, and 1.4 home runs per 9 innings</strong>, with an <strong>ERA of6.28 when facing elimination</strong>, which is the second-worst in MLB history.</p>

<p>Then again, it seems like his struggles go way beyond numbers, as his losses have constantly doomed the Dodgers on games they should be able to win. Now, in the following paragraphs, <strong>we’ll walk you through every single one of his playoff meltdowns.</strong></p>

<h2>Timeline of Every Clayton Kershaw Postseason Meltdown</h2>
<p><strong>– 2009 NLCS vs. Philadelphia Phillies, Game 1: </strong></p>
<p>Kershw’s infamous struggles in the playoffs started in 2009 when the Dodgers were up 1-0 in the fifth inning before Kershaw <strong>gave up 5 runs</strong>. The Dodgers, obviously, dropped Game 1. Then, it all went downhill.</p>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>-2009 NLCS vs. Philadelphia Phillies, Game 5: </strong></p>
<p>If losing in Game 1 wasn’t bad enough, Kershaw came off the bullpen down 6-3 in an elimination game. He <strong>gave up a 2-run homer</strong> and the Dodgers’ season came to an end sooner than expected.</p>

<p><strong>– 2013 NLCS vs. St. Louis Cardinals, Game 6:</strong></p>
<p>Don Mattingly gave Kershaw the nod for another elimination game 4 years later, this time vs. the St. Louis Cardinals. The southpaw <strong>allowed 4 in the third inning and 3 more</strong> in the bottom of the fifth. St. Louis won 9-0 and the Dodgers went back home.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>– 2014 NLDS vs. St. Louis Cardinals, Game 1:</strong></p>
<p>Kershaw’s struggles were at full display in Game 1 of the 2014 NLDS. The Dodgers were up 6-2 entering the seventh inning after allowing just a couple of solo homers. Then,<strong> he was torched for 5 runs. </strong>The Cardinals scored 8 in that inning and took home a 10-9 win.</p>

<p><strong>– 2014 NLDS vs. St. Louis Cardinals, Game 4:</strong></p>
<p>The lefty pitcher had a shot at revenge in Game 4 of the 2014 NLDS but as you may know by now, it didn’t end well for him either. The Dodgers were on the verge of elimination but were hanging on toa 2-0 lead until Kershaw <strong>allowed a 3-run dinger</strong> that gave the Cardinals the deciding 3-2 lead.</p>

<p><strong>– 2016 NLCS vs. Chicago Cubs, Game 6:</strong></p>
<p>Kershaw got the nod in Game 2 of the NLCS and led the team to a 1-0 win. However, he couldn’t replicate that success when his team faced another elimination game. Clayton <strong>allowed 3 runs in two innings</strong> and ended up giving the Cubs a 5-run lead after five frames, while Kyle Hendricks and Aroldis Chapman combined to shutout the Dodgers.</p>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>-2017 World Series vs. Houston Astros, Game 5:</strong></p>
<p>Once again, Kershaw looked dominating in Game 1 but couldn’t do it again when it mattered most. The Dodgers led by four runs before Kershaw allowed a combined 7 runs in the fourth and fifth inning, and Houston went on to take the game in extra innings. To be fair to Clayton, it was later revealed<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/sports/The-30-worst-cheaters-in-sports-history-20200605-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong> that the Astros cheated</strong></a> and stole signs in that title run.</p>

<p><strong>– 2018 NLCS vs. Milwaukee Brewers, Game 1:</strong></p>
<p>Kershaw looked just fine in the first couple of innings before allowing the Milwaukee Brewers <strong>to score 4 runs</strong> in the next two. The Dodgers ended up beating the Brewers in seven games but not thanks to good-old Kersh.</p>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p><strong>– 2018 World Series vs. Boston Red Sox, Game 1:</strong></p>
<p>Kershaw just couldn’t bounce back from that poor outing in the NLCS and was even worst in Game 1 of the 2018 World Series, <strong>allowing 5 runs over four frames</strong> to sink his team in a hole they were never able to climb back from.</p>

<p><strong>– 2018 World Series vs. Boston Red Sox, Game 5:</strong></p>
<p>Dave Roberts trusted Clayton Kershaw again in an elimination game in Game 5 of the 2018 World Series but it went as bad as expected. He<strong> gave up three home runs</strong> <strong>and four runs</strong> and the Dodgers ended up losing 5-1.</p>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p><strong>– 2019 NLDS vs. Washington Nationals, Game 2:</strong></p>
<p>The Dodgers were heavily favored when Kershaw started Game 2 vs the Nationals but “surprisingly”,<strong> he allowed 3 runs </strong>over the first two innings and the Nationals tied the series at 1 with a 4-2 win.</p>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p><strong>– 2019 NLDS vs. Washington Nationals, Game 5:</strong></p>
<p>The Dodgers were up 3-0 in Game 5 of the NLDS vs. the Nationals with Walker Buehler going for 6.2 innings. Dave Roberts called up Kershaw from the bullpen and the rest, as you know, it’s history.<strong> He gave up back-to-back homers</strong> in the eighth inning to tie the game. Then, the Nationals torched Joe Kelly in extra innings and upset the Dodgers in five games.</p>
<div style="text-align:center">
<div class="ck-youtube" id="youtube-85">      <span class="item first"></span>   <span class="item second"></span>   <span class="item third"></span>  </div>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>– 2020NLCS vs. Atlanta Braves, Game 4:</strong></p>
<p>The Atlanta Braves had a 2-1 lead in the 2020 NLCS when Dave Roberts put the ball on Clayton Kershaw’s hands. He was almost flawless through the first five innings with both teams tied at one run. Then, <strong>he allowed four earned runs</strong> and the Braves scored 6 to put them against the wall. Eventually, however, the Dodgers would take 3 straight to make it back to the World Series.</p>
<div style="text-align:center">
<div class="ck-youtube" id="youtube-75">      <span class="item first"></span>   <span class="item second"></span>   <span class="item third"></span>  </div>
<p></p></div>
<p>Kershaw is one of the best to ever do it and he deserves plenty of respect. However, these poor performances will always stain his <strong>otherwise flawless résumé.</strong> Hopefully, one day he’ll get it together and win that much-deserved ring.</p>

Every Clayton Kershaw postseason meltdown

Every Clayton Kershaw postseason meltdown - Bolavip US

<p>Death, taxes, and <strong>Clayton Kershaw </strong>struggles in the postseason. Just when it seemed like the superstar pitcher had it together for the<strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/los-angeles-dodgers-t110773" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Los Angeles Dodgers,</a> </strong>the old playoff woes knocked on the southpaw’s door once again.</p>
<p>The Los Angeles Dodgers and <strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/atlanta-braves-t113961" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Atlanta Braves</a> </strong>were tied at one through five innings, with Kershaw looking like his usual, dominant self.<strong> He was in control and that extra day of rest clearly helped him ahead of his outing.</strong></p>
<p>Then, the good-old Kershaw showed up.<strong> Ronald Acuña Jr</strong> hit an infield single, <strong>Freddie Freeman</strong> drove him home with a double, followed by another double by<strong> Marcell Ozuna</strong> until manager<strong> Dave Roberts</strong> finally pulled him out of the game.</p>

<p>Fast-forward to the end of the inning and the Dodgers had their backs against the wall by trailing 7-1 in <strong>Game 4 of the National League Championship Series </strong>and are now on the verge of being sent back home.</p>
