Yoshinobu Yamamoto and the Dodgers' pitching staff combines for a shutout and Kiké Hernández and Teoscar Hernández each hit home runs in win over the Padres.
Blake Treinen threw his hands in the sky. His teammates poured out of the dugout and swallowed him near the mound. Around them, the collective force of 53,000 fans all too accustomed to October frustration and heartbreak roared in delirious unison. And not for the last time this fall, either. Not after a nearly flawless performance from their ball club on Friday.
After retiring 14 consecutive batters following Hernández’s homer, the Dodgers took the veteran right-hander deep again in the seventh. In a 2-and-1 count, Teoscar Hernández got a slider over the plate. After depositing it in the left-field seats with a line-drive solo blast, he chucked his bat away with one hand. The pandemonium that ensued caused Chavez Ravine to shake.
