Dodgers strike back, rout Padres to force Game 5


SAN DIEGO — The Los Angeles Dodgers weren’t quite ready to go home for the winter.

Mookie Betts, Will Smith and Gavin Lux all homered as the Dodgers beat the San Diego Padres 8-0 in Game 4 of their National League Divisional Series on Wednesday night, avoiding elimination and knotting their best-of-five series at two games apiece.

The Dodgers won despite trotting out a host of relievers in a bullpen game — eight pitchers combined to allow seven hits and two walks, striking out eight batters in the shutout.

Game 5 will be on Friday in Los Angeles, with the winner earning a spot in the NLCS. The game will be broadcast on FOX at 8:08 p.m. ET.
