By Alan Crosby NEW YORK - The Los Angeles Dodgers needed a win. Pitching on just three days rest, the 27-year-old gave up just three hits over seven innings as the Dodgers won 3-1 on Tuesday to level the National League Division Series 2-2 and force a decisive Game Five back in Los Angeles on Thursday. "It felt good to get a win tonight," Kershaw said, adding it "felt good to prove manager Don Mattingly was right" to stick with him despite his previous playoff shortfalls.
