Things change in the playoffs at a speed that can cause whiplash and test the heart of a team and toy with the hearts of its fans. Every at-bat sends a packed ballpark from elated to deflated. Every result swings the perceived advantage radically.

SAN DIEGO (KTTV) - The Los Angeles Dodgers held off elimination Wednesday night, shutting out the San Diego Padres 8-0 in Game 4 of the National League Division Series. Now, the series comes home to Los Angeles on Friday night.

Betts and Shohei Ohtani both drove in runs in the second inning, and in the third inning, Will Smith launched a 432-foot homer, the longest blast from any hitter in the postseason. The Dodgers tacked on runs in the later innings, including two on a Gavin Lux home run.
