The October Dodgers are back and will now meet those gawd-awful San Francisco Giants in a postseason series for the first time in the teams’ 131-year rivalry.
Cue the bouncing Dodgers’ home-plate mosh pit. Cue Dodger Stadium rocking from its ancient core. Cue “I Love L.A.!”The Dodgers will now meet those gawd-awful San Francisco Giants in a postseason series for the first time in the teams’ 131-year rivalry.
The Dodgers faltered early in this game, Max Scherzer wasn’t himself from the start, allowing a run in the first on a single, stolen base, walk, fly ball and wild pitch. It was Russell Westbrook leading cheers on the scoreboard. It was the Washington Nationals’ Juan Soto leading cheers from behind home plate while wearing a throwback Trea Turner jersey. It was Magic Johnson waving a blue towel next to the Dodgers’ dugout.The Cardinals put the go-ahead run on second base with one out against Kenley Jansen when Tommy Edman singled and stole second.
He had allowed only two of 20 inherited runners to score and, sure enough, he retired Nolan Arenado on a grounder and struck out Dylan Carlson after falling behind 3 and 0 to end the threat.
