Cagey Crew stifled in Game 5, face 3-2 deficit

Craig Counsell took a heel turn, but Dave Roberts and the Dodgers won the bout. Counsell’s surprise use of Wade Miley for only one batter stretched the old rules of baseball etiquette and worked beautifully into the sixth inning, but there were no tactical tricks to spark the Brewers’ offense against a vintage Clayton Kershaw in a 5-2 loss in Game 5 of the National League Championship Series on Wednesday at Dodger Stadium.
