LOS ANGELES -- Julio Urias cruised through three hitless innings to begin Game 4 of the NL Championship Series. The Los Angeles Dodgers 20-year-old rookie starter seemed to be thriving under the spotlight.Then the lights went out for Urias and the Dodgers.In one miserable night at Chavez Ravine, they squandered a chance to take control of this series and lost their opportunity to win the pennant at home.The Chicago Cubs ended their 21-inning scoreless streak with a four-run fourth against Urias, and the youngest pitcher in big league history to start a postseason game took his first playoff loss in the Dodgers 10-2 defeat Wednesday.I felt comfortable in that situation, but I just didnt get the results, Urias said through a translator.Game 5 is Thursday at Dodger Stadium, with Kenta Maeda scheduled to pitch against Cubs lefty Jon Lester. Los Angeles manager Dave Roberts reiterated he wont start ace Clayton Kershaw on short rest this time, putting the three-time Cy Young Award winner in line for Game 6 on Saturday night at Wrigley Field in Chicago.Roberts said Kershaw was eager to pitch, but Game 5 isnt a deciding game. Its not an elimination game. And I think the accumulation of his usage over the last 10 days plays a factor in our decision.Urias was in fine shape until the fourth inning, and so were the Dodgers plans to keep a powerful Chicago lineup off the board. The left-hander from Mexico didnt pitch much down the stretch for the NL West champions, who gave him a postseason start with the hope he could realize his ample potential in October.Urias walked two Cubs in the first three innings, but otherwise kept them mired in their slump -- until Ben Zobrist led off the fourth with a clever bunt single. Urias acknowledged the bunt caught him off guard.Thats baseball, he said. Even if its a bad hit, its a hit. Thats how they scored their runs.Two more singles and an RBI groundout later, Addison Russells first homer of the postseason put the Cubs up 4-0 and well on their way to a series-tying win.Adrian Gonzalez and several other Dodgers thought things started to unravel two innings earlier when the video review of a close play at the plate didnt go their way.Gonzalez was called out while trying to score from second on Andrew Toles single, and the ruling was upheld after replays that were interpreted both ways.I knew I was safe, Gonzalez said. Weve got plenty of still frames that prove I was safe. Unfortunately, it turned into a trial, and they said there was not enough evidence.Gonzalez believed his run, which would have put the Dodgers up 1-0 and kept the inning going with two runners on, would have given Urias a cushion in a high-pressure situation.It completely changes his way of pitching, Gonzalez said. Now he gets one guy on base, and hes trying not to let that one run score, where if weve got that lead, he feels more comfortable. He attacks it a bit more. It changes everything. One little thing can change the outcome.While Urias didnt finish strong, the Dodgers shaky defense played a big role in the collapse as well. Los Angeles hadnt made four errors in a playoff game since the 1974 NLCS, but Toles throwing error on Willson Contreras soft single to left field allowed Zobrist to easily score the Cubs first run since Game 1.We played a very sloppy game overall, Gonzalez said. Sometimes that happens. Obviously that was a big reason we lost today, but were confident well play better.Down 5-0 in the fifth, the Dodgers still had a chance to get back in it. They loaded the bases against reliever Mike Montgomery, who accidentally deflected Justin Turners comebacker into shallow left field for a two-run single.But Gonzalez and Kike Hernandez failed to reach base, and the Cubs turned it into a laugher moments later with a five-run sixth. The Dodgers defense chipped in again, with Hernandez and Joc Pederson making throwing errors while the Cubs batted around .Thousands of Dodgers fans hit the freeways early, unwilling to watch a healthy contingent of Cubs rooters celebrate.Now the NLCS is down to a best-of-three, with the Dodgers still two wins from their first pennant since 1988, and the AL champion Cleveland Indians waiting for a World Series opponent next week.

Meanwhile, there were huge victories for Sunderland and West Ham over fellow relegation rivals, leaving the battle to avoid the drop up for grabs with the bottom 11 teams separated by just six points. Eden Hazard and Fernando Torres scored second-half goals to seal a fourth straight victory for Chelsea, which climbed above Arsenal and Manchester City in the standings ahead of their games on Monday and Sunday respectively. Wallabies coach Michael Cheika will decide by the end of this year whether to persist with Bernard Foley as a fulltime inside centre.The playmaking roles along with the lock spots have been major areas of contention this year, with Cheika on Monday calling for this second-rowers to stand up and be counted.Foley started the season at five-eighth but has played the last five Tests in the No.12 jersey since Quade Cooper was recalled at fly-half for the second Bledisloe Cup Test in August.With Matt Toomua, Christian Lealiifano and Rob Horne unavailable Foley was pressed into service at inside centre.Australia have a 3-2 record since resorting to the Cooper-Foley playmaking combination and they appear to be growing in confidence after a tentative start.With Saturdays Bledisloe Cup game in Auckland to be followed by five Tests on the spring tour, Cheika is prepared to wait until the end of the season before deciding whether to keep Foley at 12 or switch him back to 10.Cheika said the Wallabies had shown more attacking shape in addition to better work rate in defence in recent games.While Cheika was happy with his efforts in the unfamiliar position, he stressed Foley still had scope for improvement at inside centre.I think hes doone a good job considering hes playing well out of position, Cheika said,He has taken to the role.dddddddddddd Hes had to pick up some different defensive duties as well and I think hes made good hay of it considering.I still think that hes got improvement in him in that position and well have to work hard on him because thats obviously a pivotal position hes playing, the second playmaker.Cheika has shuffled his locks around more than any other area of his side this year and made it clear he wanted more from his big men.I dont think Ill be talking out of school by saying those guys have been inconsistent in that area and I want them to be consistent, Cheika said.I want them to bring a bit more in the game, thats the engine room of the game.Cheika doubted going for a world record 18th straight win on Saturday would put pressure on the All Blacks.He felt they wouldnt be stressed about facing Australia after scoring ten tries in their two big wins over the Wallabies in August.I would say that they would be thinking that they are going to do it easy, we havent really tested them this year, he said.
