Dodgers chase Quintana early in do-or-die Game 5 for Cubs

Jim Young / Reuters

The Los Angeles Dodgers could practically taste the World Series heading into a possible NLCS-clinching Game 5 in Chicago on Thursday, and they weren't going to let Jose Quintana stand in their way.

L.A. chased the Cubs starter from Game 5 before he was able to complete three innings.

Quintana threw 50 pitches through two-plus innings, allowing two doubles and a home run - to Kike Hernandez in the second inning.

The Dodgers didn't stop there either, potting five additional runs in the third inning, thanks to a second homer from Hernandez - a grand slam - giving Quintana an ugly pitching line to end his evening.

Quintana entered Game 5 with outstanding numbers against the Dodgers, never having allowed an earned run against them in 14 career innings.
