Cubs Tie NLCS With Convincing Game 4 Win Over Dodgers

LOS ANGELES, CA - The Chicago Cubs bounced back from an awful Game 3 with a resounding win in Game 4 of the National League Championship Wednesday. Addison Russell and Anthony Rizzo both homered for the visitors at Dodger Stadium, helping tie the best-of-seven series at two games apiece.

Memorable Moment: Russell hit a two-run home run to center during a four-run fourth inning that gave the Cubs a 4-0 lead. The inning put an end to a 21-inning scoreless streak from the Cubs hitters in the series.

Moment to Forget: The Cubs had the benefit of a questionable call in the second inning where the home plate umpire ruled the Dodgers' Adrian Gonzalez out when he appeared to be safe.
