Game five is Thursday in Washington, with 20-game winner Max Scherzer expected to pitch for the Nationals. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said he will use left-hander Rich Hill and rookie Julio Urias, but did not announce which one will start. Adrian Gonzalez hit a two-run homer for the Dodgers, who turned to Kershaw on three days’ rest to salvage their season. The score was tied 5-all with two outs in the eighth when Andrew Toles got hit by a pitch from Blake Treinen. Trailing 5-2 in the seventh, the Nats had runners on first and second against Kershaw with two outs.
