Roughed up in the NLCS opener, Kershaw mixed his fastball and slider on a hot day to shut down the Brewers. “It’s been a battle every single game we’ve played them so far and we don’t expect anything different when we go back.”The Brewers do. “Anytime you can work yourself out of situations like that that’s going to make or break the game,” Kershaw said. The Dodgers tied the game 1-all on Austin Barnes’ RBI single up the middle in the fifth. Los Angeles extended the lead to 5-1 in the seventh on Turner’s RBI single that scored Kershaw, who walked, and pinch-hitter Brian Dozier’s RBI groundout.
