The Dodgers beat St. Louis in the NL wild-card game last Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverybody was kind of chill, relaxed and wanted to play,\u201d Betts said. \u201cIt\u2019s not like we\u2019re all of a sudden going to start hitting it harder or throwing it further or throwing it faster or whatever. It\u2019s the same game we have been playing. It\u2019s just a win-or-go-home situation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Next, the 106-win Dodgers head back to San Francisco to play the 107-win Giants one more time Thursday night, with the winner advancing to face Atlanta in the NL Championship Series. The Braves eliminated Milwaukee earlier Tuesday.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"627\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/Mookie-Betts.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"Mookie Betts belts a two-run homer in the fourth inning of the Dodgers' 7-2 win over the Dodgers in Game 4 of the NLDS.\" class=\"wp-image-19785900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/Mookie-Betts.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/Mookie-Betts.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/Mookie-Betts.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Mookie Betts belts a two-run homer in the fourth inning of the Dodgers\u2019 7-2 win over the Dodgers in Game 4 of the NLDS.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">USA TODAY Sports<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cThey know us, we know them really well,\u201d Smith said. \u201cIt\u2019s going to come down to who wants it a little more.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>San Francisco won the NL West by one game over the Dodgers in an historic race that went down to the final day of the regular season. Now, these storied rivals are set for a winner-take-all showdown.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is what baseball wants,\u201d Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. \u201cWe\u2019re going to be the only show in town. If you have a pulse or you\u2019re a sports fan, you better be watching Dodgers-Giants.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>The Dodgers managed just five hits during a 1-0 loss in Game 3 \u2014 the second time they were shut out in this series \u2014 to reach the brink of elimination. Los Angeles had that many by the second inning Tuesday and pounded out 12 in all to back a brief but effective outing from Buehler on three days\u2019 rest.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTonight\u2019s a great example of kind of 26 guys coming together and figuring out a way to survive,\u201d Buehler said.<\/p>\n<p>Buehler went to Roberts as early as the Dodgers\u2019 9-2 victory in Game 2 and said he wanted the ball in Game 4 to start on short rest for the first time in his career. The right-hander allowed one run and three hits in 4 1\/3 innings. He struck out four and walked two on 71 pitches.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI actually felt great,\u201d Buehler said. \u201cProbably the best I have in the second half of the year. We\u2019ll see how I feel tomorrow, but for tonight I felt pretty good.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After giving up a leadoff single to Evan Longoria and walking pinch-hitter Steven Duggar, Buehler exited to a standing ovation from blue towel-waving fans.<\/p>\n<p>The Dodgers chased starter Anthony DeSclafani in the second. He gave up two runs and five hits and struck out two.<\/p>\n<p>The Giants ran through six pitchers by the fifth, leaving them with just three relievers. By the seventh, only backup catcher Curt Casali was available off the bench and he pinch-hit in the eighth.<\/p>\n<p>The Giants have been outscored 16-9 in the series. They had seven hits Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis time of year you\u2019re going to face great pitching night-in and night-out,\u201d All-Star catcher Buster Posey said. \u201cYou\u2019re hoping that when you do get some traffic out there, you can get a big hit because sometimes those opportunities are limited. Hopefully that\u2019s something we will be able to do on Thursday.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The biting, steady wind that prevailed throughout Game 3 was gone, leaving just a slight breeze to ruffle the center-field flags.<\/p>\n<p>Smith hit a two-run homer to center in the eighth, extending the lead to 7-2.<\/p>\n<p>Betts homered in the fourth, and his bases-loaded sacrifice fly scored Cody Bellinger in the fifth for a 5-1 lead.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI told him after the homer that\u2019s the best swing he\u2019s taken all year,\u201d Roberts said.<\/p>\n<p>The Giants\u2019 runs came in the top of the fifth on Darin Ruf\u2019s RBI groundout off winner Joe Kelly, and Kris Bryant\u2019s RBI groundout in the eighth. Posey, a career .257 hitter in the postseason, went 0 for 4.<\/p>\n<p>Buehler was safe at first leading off the fourth when his shot went off reliever Jarlin Garcia\u2019s leg for an error. Betts followed with a two-run homer to the right-field pavilion, extending the lead to 4-0.<\/p>\n<p>The Dodgers got on the board in the first with NL batting champion Trea Turner\u2019s RBI double to right-center that rolled to the wall, scoring Corey Seager, who singled.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Taylor\u2019s sacrifice fly made it 2-0 in the second.<\/p>\n<p>San Francisco had runners at the corners in the second on consecutive one-out singles by Bryant and LaMonte Wade Jr. But Buehler got out of the jam, retiring Longoria on a swinging strike and Mike Yastrzemski on a liner to second.<\/p>\n<p>Last postseason, the Dodgers went 3-0 in elimination games, rallying from a 3-1 deficit to beat Atlanta in the NLCS.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
