It’s win or go home in the NLDS.

At soggy Wrigley Field on Wednesday night, the Washington Nationals tied the NL Division Series against the Chicago Cubs at two games apiece, sending the series to a deciding Game 5 Thursday, Oct. 12, at Nationals Park.

Will the Cubs keep their title repeat hopes alive, or will the Nationals win their first postseason series since moving to Washington? The winner advances to the NL Championship Series vs. the Los Angeles Dodgers beginning Saturday, Oct. 14, on TBS.

Taking the mound for the Cubs in Game 5 is right-hander Kyle Hendricks. The Nationals will counter with either Gio Gonzalez or Tanner Roark.
