NEW YORK — First baseman Freddie Freeman was out of the Los Angeles Dodgers' lineup for Game 4 of the National League Championship Series against the New York Mets. Freeman has been playing with a sprained and swollen ankle throughout the postseason. Even without him, the Dodgers rolled to a 10-2 victory that gave them a 3-1 advantage in the best-of-seven series and moved them within one win of their 25th pennant — most in NL history. With the Mets starting left-hander Jose Quintana, the Dodgers moved Max Muncy from third base to first and Kiké Hernández from center field to third base. Rookie outfielder Andy Pages started in center, and Teoscar Hernández moved up to Freeman's regular No. 3 spot in the batting order.
