Clayton Kershaw allowed 1 run on 3 hits in 7.0 innings as he had the Mets baffled from the opening pitch of the game.
Now, New York must go on the road and find a way to steal Game 5 with Jacob deGrom on the hill. Opposing him will be Zack Greinke.
New York
The Mets inability to figure out Clayton Kershaw for a 2nd time as led this series back to LA for a Game 5.

RH Zack Greinke allowed just the two solo home runs to Cespedes and Conforto in Game 2 as he allowed 5 hits in 7.0 innings to grab the win. He struck out 8 Mets hitters without issuing a single walk and continues to be extremely impressive.
