Dodgers go yard to pull even with Giants

San Francisco Giants, Los Angeles Dodgers and sudden death -- it's only right.

The Giants and Dodgers, two of the oldest rivals in sports, were separated by one game over the course of a 162-game season and by two runs throughout a 19-game season series. Now, after a Walker Buehler-fueled Dodgers victory on Tuesday night, they'll play Game 5 of the National League Division Series for the right to advance into the next round and face the Atlanta Braves.

The Giants and Dodgers entered with the first- and second-best records in the sport, respectively, and were meeting in the postseason for the first time in a 100-plus-year history, representing arguably the most compelling NLDS matchup of all time.

And yet it still feels as if the best might lie ahead.

The Dodgers and Giants have played four tense games, but not a single lead change has taken place. The Giants shut out the Dodgers in Games 1 and 3; the Dodgers' offense came to life late in Game 2 and early in Game 4. Now it'll be Julio Urias, a 20-game winner who has helped propel the Dodgers to victory in each of his past 12 starts, likely facing Logan Webb, who dazzled with 7⅔ shutout innings in Game 1 and boasts a 2.63 ERA since early July.

We got there because Buehler volunteered to pitch on short rest for the first time in his career in Game 4. We got there because the Giants made every defensive play imaginable through hellish wind in Game 3. We got there because Cody Bellinger came alive when it mattered most in Game 2. We got there because Webb rose to the occasion in Game 1. We got there because the Dodgers and Giants are so closely matched they've practically become indecipherable.

Game 5 -- 6:07 p.m. PT Thursday from a raucous Oracle Park in San Francisco.

Fitting.
