Despite falling into a 2-1 deficit in the series, the Dodgers stormed back to take the NLDS, fighting off elimination two times in a tense contest with their division rivals in the San Diego Padres.
The Los Angeles Dodgers' postseason dreams are still alive on Friday after successfully topping the San Diego Padres in the National League Division Series. Despite falling into a 2-1 hole after three games, the Boys in Blue stormed back to take the final two games of the series, staving off elimination each time and earning their spot in the National League Championship Series where they'll take on the New York Mets for a chance to head to the World Series.
The Padres' Yu Darvish pitched an impressive game, hurling seven innings of three-hit ball, but unfortunately for San Diego, two of those hits came in the form of home runs off the bats of Kiké Hernández and Teoscar Hernández, all the runs the Dodgers needed to win. In his second postseason start for Los Angeles, Japanese star Yoshinobu Yamamoto shone bright, tossing five shutout innings before tossing the game to a lights out bullpen.
