Dodgers vs. Mets score, live updates: Los Angeles looks to take a commanding 3-1 NLCS lead in Game 4 in New York

It might seem like ages ago, but just nine days ago, the Los Angeles Dodgers were in trouble in the NLDS, trailing the San Diego Padres 2-1 in the best-of-five series, with Fernando Tatis Jr. bashing homers left and right.

The Dodgers found their groove, though, and it actually started with L.A.’s pitching in that Game 3 loss. The Dodgers didn’t allow a run after the second inning of that game — a streak that continued for the rest of the series and into the NLCS. Over the past five games, Dodgers pitching has posted four shutouts, including in both of the team’s NLCS wins.

The Mets will need to find the offense they managed in a 7-3 Game 2 win to have a chance to tie this series because the hot Dodgers offense is averaging 5.3 runs per game in these playoffs, with 20 runs scored so far in this series.

On Thursday, the Mets are turning to Jose Quintana, who has not yet allowed a run in 11 postseason innings, and the Dodgers are countering with Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who threw 5.0 innings of shutout ball in his last start, L.A.’s win over San Diego in Game 5 of the NLDS.
