What they're saying about NLDS Game 4

After a heartbreaking 8-0 loss in Game 3 of the National League Division Series to the Cardinals, the Nationals bounced back nicely for a 2-1 win in Game 4. Pitching has been the Achilles heel for the Nats all postseason, but starting pitcher Ross Detwiler provided some stability to the pitching staff. Though the Nats never had a hit with a runner in scoring position, Jayson Werth hit the game-winning home run in the bottom of the ninth with no outs. With the win, the Nationals forced a Game 5 with the Cardinals to decide the winner, who will play the Giants in the National League Championship Series.
