A pivotal Game Five of the World Series will take place on Sunday night from Globe Life Park, when the Los Angeles Dodgers battle the Tampa Bay Rays. Last night, Los Angeles RP Kenley Jansen was unable to protect a one-run ninth inning lead during a wild 8-7 defeat. Corey Seager and Justin Turner combined for eight hits to go along with five runs scored in a losing effort for the Dodgers.
Three-time Cy Young Award winner Clayton Kershaw (6-2 2.16 ERA) will take the mound for the Dodgers in this matchup. In Game One, Kershaw struck out eight batters and allowed one run across six frames during an 8-3 Los Angeles victory.
The Tampa Bay Rays were not given much of a chance against the high-powered Dodgers, but they stand two wins away from their first World Series Championship in franchise history.

Brandon Lowe cracked a three-run shot to put the Rays ahead 5-4 in the sixth inning.
The Rays will counter with talented right-hander Tyler Glasnow (5-1 4.08 ERA) on Sunday. Through five starts this postseason, Glasnow has surrendered 16 earned runs and fanned 33 batters across 23 plus innings of work.
