The Dodgers were not going to go out of the NLCS not having hit one "Big Fly" and they answered the bell today in an elimination game versus Team #12in13 the St. Louis Cardinals playing #PostCARDS on Twitter.

The Dodger beat the Redbirds 6-4 but not after Dodger Starter Zack Greinke goes a cool seven giving up two runs on six hits while walking one and striking out four. Lucky for the "Greinkster" on a day that saw four "Big Flies"...he threw no souvenirs. Redbirds Starter Joe Kelly didn't have his good stuff as he went five allowing four runs on seven hits as he struck out three and allowed two of the four bombs. Both Adrian "A-Gon" Gonzalez and Carl Crawford went Solo Bombs in the 3rd and 5th respectively. Then Dodgers Back Stop AJ Ellis took Redbirds Middle Man #2 in "Chief" Mujica for a Solo Shot as A-Gon added another Solo Bomb in the 8th off Redbirds Middle Man #3 John Axford. The Dodger had no Bombs until today and maybe the Redbirds opened up something they didn't want to open up.

This time the "Boys in Blue" Pen held up as that Set-Up Man in Brain Wilson and Captain Save-A-Game Kenley Jansen closeout the 8th and an eventful 9th from Jansen. Now the scene for the NLCS shifts back to the 'Lou for Game 6 on Friday October 18th as it will be Dodgers Ace Clayton Kershaw against maybe Adam Wainright but most likely Michael Wacha.
