Dodgers seal historic night for Kershaw and dream of World Series title
he Dodgers are one victory away from breaking their 32-year drought without a World Series crown. This Sunday, Los Angeles struck down the Rays on a historic night for Clayton Kershaw with a 4-2 scoreline. The starter became the most strikeout pitcher in the postseason after beating Justin Verlander.The left-hander of the Dodgers was claiming a Fall Classic to redeem himself and in his second start he was not due. Despite the response that made the seprentinero tremble for a moment in the third roll, Kershaw managed to fight with a total of six chocolates was enough to reach the 206 that served to pass Verlander.

From the initial episode, things began to get complicated for Glasnow. With a faltering arm, the Tampa Bay starter revived the ghosts of the first game. Betts opened the magic box with a double, to later be driven by Seager. Later, a Bellinger single helped widen the margin.Glasnow could not warm up and soon wasted no time in conceding a home run to Pederson. The home run seemed lethal; however the Rays added spice to the duel in the third inning.A triple by Díaz was a balm that allowed Kiermaier’s career. Later Arozarena, who surpassed Pablo Sandoval in the record of most hits in a Playoffs, contributed another hit to seal the second.

However, one inning later, Margot sinned in ambition and in an abuse of stealing bases, she thought that reaching home this way would be the ideal. With two outs on the record, the defense fired up and from there Tampa couldn’t come back.Muncy hit the biggest nail with a home run off Glasnow. And this time, the bullpen managed to rise to the occasion. May helped put out the fire and shortly thereafter Víctor González had two outs without admitting a response.

The Nayarit entered the podium of pitchers born in Mexico with three or more starts. González emulated his partner Urías, who achieved it in 2018 and Fernando Salas, who did it in 2011.Despite the efforts of AL’s squad relievers, Treinen ended up doing just the right thing about the closing and now the Dodgers have a foot and a half to dream of a crowning in an atypical World Series.
