Mookie Betts, Los Angeles Dodgers blow out San Francisco Giants to even NLDS

San Francisco Giants, Los Angeles Dodgers and sudden death -- it's only right.

The Giants and Dodgers, two of the oldest rivals in sports, were separated by one game over the course of a 162-game season and by two runs throughout a 19-game season series. Now, after a Walker Buehler-fueled Dodgers victory on Tuesday night, they'll play Game 5 of the National League Division Series for the right to advance into the next round and face the Atlanta Braves.

The Giants and Dodgers entered with the first- and second-best records in the sport, respectively, and were meeting in the postseason for the first time in a 100-plus-year history, representing arguably the most compelling NLDS matchup of all time.
