The Nationals and Cubs are headed to a deciding fifth game in their National League Division Series. The Nats shut out the Cubs 5-0 in Game Four at Wrigley Field to knot the best-of-five series at two games apiece. Stephen Strasburg returned from illness to start instead of Tanner Roark. He struck out 12 over seven innings of three-hit ball for the win. Washington scored on an error in the third inning and blew the game open with a grand slam by Michael Taylor off Wade Davis in the eighth.
Jake Arrieta took the loss. The Nationals host Game Five on Thursday.
