Up and Adams: Cards mold NLCS berth out of Clayton

In a series where home runs carried the Cardinals to a two-games-to-one-lead in the National League Division Series, Matt Adams knocked Clayton Kershaw out and sent the Dodgers home with a mighty seventh-inning blast in Game 4 on Tuesday. It erased a two-run deficit and lifted the Cardinals to a 3-2 win, their fourth postseason victory in two October series against baseball’s best pitcher.
