SERIES NOTES:
After Game 4: The Los Angeles Dodgers visited and bested the
Houston Astros 6-runs-2 to knot best-of-7 MLB/NBA/NHL playoff series
1352 at 2-games-all. When tied 2-games-all in a best-of-7 MLB/NBA/NHL
playoff series, the Los Angeles Dodgers have a series record of 3-3 and a
Game 5 record of 3-3, while the Houston Astros have a series record of
1-2 and a Game 5 record of 1-2. In six previous best-of-7 MLB playoff
series have the Los Angeles Dodgers been tied 2-games-all after four
games: In each case, when the Dodgers won Game 5, they won the series
(three times), and when the Dodgers lost Game 5, they lost the series
(three times). The five-run ninth inning by the visiting Los Angeles
Dodgers in series 1352 Game 4 is the largest top of the ninth in a
best-of-7 MLB Finals game since series 822, in which the New York Mets
plated five runs in the top of the ninth inning (against the Yankees in
the Bronx in 2000 World Series Game 2).
