NLCS: Cubs Knock Off Dodgers Again, Take 3-2 Series Lead; Chicago One Win Away From First Pennant Since 1945

At Los Angeles:

A strong seven-inning pitching performance from Jon Lester, combined with a two-run Addison Russell home run and a three-run double in the eighth inning from Javier Baez lifted the Chicago Cubs to a 8-4 game-five road victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday in the National League Championship Series, which the Cubs now lead three games to two.

The Cubs can wrap up their first National League pennant (and punch their ticket for their first World Series appearance) in 71 years with a game-six victory back home in Chicago on Saturday.
