Pitching woes that plagued the Nationals in game three saw a reversal of fortune in game four with the Dodgers pitching woes being the catalyst for their loss.
The Dodgers bullpen combined to commit six errors with pitcher Julio Urias committing three of said errors, while also allowing 10 hits and forcing just five strikeouts in the game.
The Dodgers and Nationals will return to the diamond this Thursday at Dodger Stadium to see who will advance to the National League Championship Series (NLCS).
