Dodgers pitcher Zack Greinke turned in a dominant outing but failed to factor into the decision of Game 1 of the National League Championship Series against the Cardinals Friday night.
Greinke allowed a game-tying, two-run home run to Carlos Beltran in the third inning for his only damage of the night. He struck out 10 and surrendered only two runs on four hits and one walk over eight innings of work. He has allowed only four runs over 14 innings pitched this postseason. He will likely pitch again in Game 5, if needed.
