Yoshinobu Yamamoto (2-2. 2.48) vs. Chris Paddack (0-4, 6.38).
Top Paddock was one of my favorite breakfast spots in Melbourne, and I used to frequent it regularly. Their coffees were exquisite and their breakfast offerings were the kind of fare that you would be proud presenting to visitors from out of town (and there were many!) who were looking to get acclimated to quality Mekbourne dining.
Anyway, I bring this all up because, I'm hoping we can Top Paddack today.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto (2-1, 2.10) vs. Brandon Roupp (3-1, 2.38).
Brandon Roupp is on fire (the Roupp! the Roupp!), with 24 Ks this year compared with the pedestrian 21 K from our own Yoshinobu Yamamoto. But the Giants are only a half-game out of the cellar in the NL West, thanks to a division-worst -21 run differential (not to mention a 3-7 home record this year, also the worst in the division).
The Dodgers had to play that stupid Monday late game in Colorado, further stacking odds against Los Angeles. The Giants had the day off to rest. At least we can take solace that it rained all day in SF.
The Dodgers swept the Mets this series with some standout pitching performances in all three games: Justin Wrobleski opening with eight innings of two-hit, shutout ball Monday; then Yoshinobu Yamamoto going 7.2 IP with 7 Ks on Tuesday; and finally, Shohei Ohtani going 6.0 IP of 2 H, 1 ER ball (with 10 Ks) last night.
The bullpen also had admirable efforts, with Tanner Scott on Monday, Blake Treinen and Alex Vesia on Tuesday, and then Treinen, Scott, and Kyle Hurt on Wednesday. Hurt gave up the bullpen's only earned run in the series, but of note as that we didn't leverage expensive off-season acquisition Edwin Diaz, who is still dealing with a knee issue that stems back to his ill-fated 2023 WBC celebration.
Dalton Rushing, in a rare DH appearance last night, hit a grand slam (another great call from Dave Roberts to put Rushing in at DH, btw) to ice the game. The Dodgers scored 14 runs this series, and held the Mets to three runs. The Dodgers have the highest run differential in the majors at +46 runs, but of note is that the Braves aren't far behind at +44 (having played one more game than the Dodgers as of this morning).
There's chatter about Ohtani's best performance of the year last night, given he wasn't also in the lineup as DH and didn't have to deal with all the between-inning chicanery that adds difficulties to his two-way performances. Blue Jays manager John Schneider is probably happy to see this potential evolution, I'm sure.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto (2-1, 2.50) vs. Nolan McLean (1-1, 2.70).
Nolan McLean, tonight's starting pitcher for New York, was also the starting pitcher in the WBC Championship Game for the United States, lasting 4.2 IP, giving up 4 H and 2 ER (with 1 HR). He's got a 0.3 WAR and has not given up more than 2 ER in any of his three starts this season.
But he's going to need help, after the Dodgers blanked the Mets last night, 4-0, thanks to Justin Wrobleski's eight innings of highly efficient shutout ball. Would love to keep those Mets bats slumbering tonight (especially the bat of Francisco Lindor, batting .176 in the leadoff spot).
Yoshinobu Yamamoto (1-1, 3.00) vs. Kevin Gausman (0-0, 0.75).
Remember this guy, Yamamoto, in the 2025 World Series? Blue Jays fans won't soon forget him, for sure.
But at least they're throwing their ace, Kevin Gausman, who will be tough: in two games and 12 IP this year, Gausman has given up only 1 ER and 3 H (and has 21 Ks, tied for first in MLB).
Should be another fun one this afternoon! (Yes, that's what I said yesterday, as well.)
Yoshinobu Yamamoto (1-0, 3.00) vs. Gavin Williams (0-1, 5.40).
Weekday game before a travel day, so it's probably a 7p start time, right? APRIL FOOLS!
Nope, we go early tonight, cutting even more into Yoshinobu Yamamoto's recovery time. Lucky for us, it's not like we overworked this guy down the stretch last season. I'm sure we're totally good here.
2025 World Series MVP Yoshinobu Yamamoto vs. Zac Gallen.
The Dodgers' quest for (even more) Championship history continues this evening at Chavez Ravine. With the Giants' loss to the Yankees on pre-Opening Day yesterday, the Dodgers look to take a commanding one-game lead in the standings over the Snakes and Gnats.
Today will be Yamamoto's second straight Opening Day start for the Dodgers; it is Gallen's fourth-straight Opening Day start for the Diamondbacks.
I'm so pumped for this game, for this season, for this team.
SoSG Dusty Baker will be at the Stadium representing the Sons.
LET'S GO, DODGERS!
For the last 48 hours, all I have been doing is watching highlights. I think I've got enough content to post daily for a lot of this off-season. I'm going to give it a shot.
Let's start with this one, an amazing view of Game 7's improbable ending. I can't believe that there isn't even one Dodgers fan in the crowd, but I haven't found him or her yet!
I guess there's some Dodgers fans visible in this shot:
DODGERS 5, BLUE JAYS 4 (11) DODGERS WIN WORLD SERIES, 4-3
In the end, it wasn't about ruining baseball. It was about grit.
And the Dodgers had it--arguably, even more than the Toronto Blue Jays.
For the Dodgers to go into Rogers Centre needing to win both games, and then winning Game 7 in an extra-inning classic--amazing. This one will be remembered for all time. And what a gutty win after getting kicked in the nuts early, with Shohei Ohtani giving up a three-run HR to Bo Bichette in an extremely abbreivated start.
Ohtani didn't have it on the mound this night, but the truth is, this Dodger team is much more than even its brightest star. The 2025 Dodgers showcase a roster full of future Hall of Famers, but also honors a panoply of unsung and unlikely heroes:
Max Muncy, whose eighth-inning home run brought us within one run of a comeback.
Miguel Rojas, an unlikely savior with his game-tying home run in the ninth inning.
Andy Pages, who ran over Kiké Hernandez in the ninth inning on a deep gapper fly ball, to preserve the tie game.
Will Smith, overshadowed superstar workhorse catcher, with the game-winning solo home run in the 11th.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto, winner of World Series Game 6 and 7, the latter on zero days rest.
Mookie Betts, whose clutch double play to end the 2025 World Series showed off his fully-honed defensive skills at a brand new position.
And let's not forget some of the little guys who got us here:
Justin Dean, whose headsup play to call for the deadball in Game 6 saved us the game.
Will Klein, whose Game 3 heroics earned us a victory in the 18-inning marathon.
Justin Wrobleski, whose fourth-inning inside pitches in Game 7 fired the Dodgers back up.
And of course, Dave Roberts, who made incredible decisions all series long, a grandmaster of chess moves in this World Series.
I'm still processing this one (and, hung over), but I wanted to get something posted.
Congratulations to the 2025 Los Angeles Dodgers. What an incredible ride.
The Dodgers only had four hits all game (to the Blue Jays' eight hits), and even made the game's only error (a Max Muncy misplay). And yet, the Dodgers prevailed in World Series Game 6, 3-1, capping another largely-medicore game at the plate (12 Ks, with three of those coming from Teoscar Hernandez' continual whiffs in his 0-for-4 night) with a very surprising road victory.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto had another great postseason start, though his line: 6.0 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 1 BB and 6 Ks, didn't match up to the amazing standards of a couple of his other complete game postseason starts. Which left the fate of this game to the bullpen, with the Dodgers nursing a two-run lead that came after three runs in the third inning (one-out double from Tommy Edman to get things going; RBI double from Will Smith; and then a clutch two-run single by Mookie Betts):
The Betts single silenced the Rogers Centre crowd a bit, even though the Blue Jays got one back in the bottom of the third to make it 3-1. But the crowd got louder as the Dodgers bullpen buckled, but did not break. Justin Wrobleski yielded a two-out double to Ernie Clement, but then got Andres Gimenez to strike out and end the seventh inning. Roki Sasaki had two on in the eighth with one out, but got Bo Bichette to foul out and then Miguel Rojas fielded a Daulton Varsho bullet to escape that jam.
Sasaki was not so lucky in the ninth, leaving men on second and third--which was fortunate in itself, thanks to late-replacement Justin Dean having the veteran-like wherewithal to raise his hands when Addison Barger's double became lodged under the outfield padding. This forced the umpires to call a dead ball and stop Myles Straw (pinch running for Alejandro Kirk, who was HBP to start the inning) from scoring the Blue Jays' second run. But Sasaki then was pulled for...potential Game 7 starter Tyler Glasnow.
Selecting Glasnow here was a ballsy move by Dave Roberts (as was getting Sasaki to pitch the eighth inning; Sasaki was clearly not sharp with a 25-pitch eighth and a shaky start to the ninth). But credit Roberts for pulling out all the stops tonight--there is no Game 7 if we don't win Game 6 anyway--and so, Glasnow entered with two RISP and none out.
Three pitches later, it was over. Glasnow had some luck to get Clement to pop out to Freddie Freeman. But then the game ended on a crazy 7-4 double play when Gimenez flied to Kike Hernandez in left, a bloop single wiht a 40% probability of being caught--and Kike Hernandez had the composure to not only catch, but then gun the ball back to the infield, where Miguel Rojas caught Barger sleeping off of second base.
Kiké even said, postgame, that he lost that fly ball in the lights:
(and how sweet is it that Kiké is wearing a rotowear Yamamoto shirt! It's here, by the way--and no, we don't get a commission for this link.)
Watching that ninth inning, all I could hear was the echoes of Joe Carter's 1993 Game 6 walkoff home run. It seemed like Toronto was just about to fulfill its destiny there in Game 6.
Instead, we have a Game 7 tomorrow. I'm still in shock having peeled myself off the floor, after watching this one.
Holy smokes. What an ending.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto vs. Kevin Gausman.
The Dodgers' 2025 season is poised to end tonight, and even with Blake Snell's crappy start throwing batting practice at the beginning of Game 5, or Teoscar Hernandez' continual misadventures in right field, or failed double play attempts in the infield, it wasn't those mistakes that ultimately derailed the Dodgers' 2025 World Series bid.
It was the hitting. Or lack thereof.
In a particularly awful time for everyone in the starting lineup to get cold, we've got Mookie Betts, Will Smith, Shohei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman, Teoscar Hernandez, Tommy Edman, Max Muncy, and Andy Pages all flailing at the plate. The Game 5 lineup--which thankfully did not include Pages--amassed 15 strikeouts and too many first-pitch infield flies to give the Blue Jays any pressure.
So the Dodgers all got out to Rogers Centre today and took batting practice--which the LAT reported that Roberts took as an exciting positive (whoop dee frickin' doo!)--rather than moping in their hotel rooms, I imagine.
There will be plenty of time for moping if our offense continues to be lost tonight.
Let's frickin' go, Dodgers! Show us a treat, not a trick.
DODGERS 5, BLUE JAYS 1 World Series tied 1-1
Rogers Centre was ready to erupt again, with the Dodgers scuffling around offensively before finally breaking through on Kevin Gausman in the seventh inning. But the fact that we could keep this game close for that long was only due to the continued heroics of Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who spun a 105-pitch complete game victory, limiting the Blue Jays to 4 H and 1 ER (0 BB, 8 Ks), and giving our offense the chance to take and extend the lead late in Game 2.
This is Yamamoto's second straight complete game in the postseason, which is amazing. As per Sonja Chen of MLB.com:
"I think that you look at Yamamoto," manager Dave Roberts said, "it's kind of the throwback in the sense of when he starts a game, he expects to finish it. And he'll go as long as I let him."
Yamamoto not only prevented the Dodgers from needing to reach into their mixed bag of a 'pen, but he also put his team in a much more favorable position now that the Series is tied 1-1. In the history of best-of-seven postgame series with the current 2-3-2 format, teams that have taken a 2-1 lead at home in Game 3 have prevailed in the series 29 of 48 times (60.4%).He is the first pitcher with back-to-back complete games in the postseason since the D-backs' Curt Schilling in 2001, and the first Dodger since Orel Hershiser in 1988. The most recent pitcher with multiple complete games in the postseason was the Giants' Madison Bumgarner in 2014.
Will Smith and Max Muncy broke the 1-1 tie in the seventh with solo home runs. The Dodgers manufactured two more runs in the eighth inning, on a wild pitch by Jeff Hoffman (scoring Andy Pages from third), and then Smith scoring Shohei Ohtani from third on a force out.
Watching Fangraphs' playoff odds shift will drive one crazy, but here's the recap so far: Going into the Game 1, the Dodgers had a 66.3% chance to win the 2025 World Series. After the Game 1 loss, the Dodgers' chances dipped to 48.4%. And now with the Game 2 victory, the Dodgers are back to 63.4%.
Fox analyst and former Yankee Derek Jeter noted the Dodgers' calm in the wake of the Game 1 loss: "The Dodgers have been here, they know what it takes to win," said Jeter. "They know that losing by 10 runs is the same as losing by one run. It gives the Toronto Blue Jays a lot more confidence, and they're not a team that ever lacks confidence 'cause they know they can hit. But I expect the Dodgers to bounce back."
And bounce back they did, thanks to Yamamoto's leadership and poise.
Let's look forward to Game 3 in Los Angeles!
Yoshinobu Yamamoto vs. Kevin Gausman.
Well, last night was pretty much a beatdown. Dodgers starter Blake Snell didn't have anywhere near the stuff he's had for this postseason; the Banda brothers in the bullpen kept serving up meatballs, and the offense missed plenty of chances to put this away early, thanks in part to untimely early-count swinging that got Toronto's pen off the hook multiple times.
And Andy Pages is batting .077 this postseason, adding two Ks last night in an 0-for-4 contribution.
All the pundits said our NLDS vs. Philadelphia was the toughest matchup of the postseason. So was the 2024 NLDS against the Padres--the difference being that we had to claw our way past the Mets as well in the 2024 NLCS, whereas we breezed past the Brewers this year.
So Game 1 was a good reminder that this 2025 World Series isn't going to be easy--just like last year.
Let's sack up and steal one on the road tonight, Yoshi!
LET'S GO, DODGERS!
Blake Snell pitched eight innings of no-run ball yesterday? No problem, said Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who went the complete game, giving up only one run (off his first pitch, a leadoff HR from Jackson Chourio), with an impressive line of his own: 9.0 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 1 BB and 7 Ks.
That was Yamamoto's first career MLB CG. And a fine time to break out that performance. It was the first Dodgers postseason complete game since Jose Lima in 2004 (NLDS G3 vs. St. Louis), which was so long ago, this blog wasn't even around then!
The Dodgers have solved their bullpen woes by simply not ever going to the bullpen. Amazing.
Teoscar Hernandez had a key home run to strike back after Chourio's blast, and then Andy Pages knocked in Kiké Hernandez (who doubled) to give the Dodgers a quick 2-1 lead.
And though the Dodgers had many other chances in this game, we simply weren't great--2-for-11 with RISP, and 10 LOB--but we continued to just chip away and extend the lead with a trio of fenceposts in the sixth, seventh, and eighth innings. A 2-1 lead stretched to 5-1; the Brewers had to use five pitches after Freddy Peralta, two of them picking up ER on their own pitching lines, and the Dodgers got another win on the road.
Sloppiness still abounds for the Dodgers. Max Muncy (who also homered in the game--making him the Dodger with the most postseason homeruns, all-time) had his second error of the postseason. And Teoscar Hernandez and Mookie Betts both GIDPd, the latter for the second time this series.
We still aren't firing on all cylinders offensively. But luckily, our starting rotation certainly is.
For a team that couldn't win one game against Milwaukee all regular season, it's remarkable for the Dodgers to get two wins on the road to start out this series.
Credit our starting pitchers, Blake Snell and Yoshinobu Yamamoto. If we never have to go to the bullpen, we might actually stand a chance this postseason.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto vs. Freddy Peralta.
Let's take the Brewers' NLCS Game 1 pitching lineup as an anomaly. The good news is, we've now gotten a good look at six of Milwaukee's relievers, especially Quinn Priester, who pitched innings two through five. And we did get some hits and walks off them (7 H and 8 BB, respectfully), against only 4 Ks, showing better plate discipline than we had against the Phillies in the NLCS.
But today's Game 2 features an actual starting pitcher for the Brewers, Freddy Peralta, and he's a pretty good one at that. Peralta's 5.5 WAR and 2.70 ERA this year ranked him seventh in the majors. Peralta also shut us down in the first of two starts against the Dodgers this year (July 7: 6.0 IP, 5 H, 0 ER, 1 BB and 7 Ks), and he earned the win (but was less effective) in his second start against us (July 19: 5.0 IP, 5 H, 4 ER, 3 BB and 4 Ks). Perhaps that bodes well for the Dodgers, as he's at least trending in a favorable direction.
(Peralta also started twice in the 2025 NLDS against the Cubs: winning NLDS G1 (5.2 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, 3 BB and 9 Ks), but losing NLDS G4 (4.0 IP, 3 H, 3 ER, 2 BB and 6 Ks). Again, trending in a favorable direction.)
But let's not get distracted from some glaring issues with our own lineup. Shohei Ohtani, 0-for-2 (albeit with 3 BBs) yesterday, is now batting .138 in the leadoff spot. Mookie Betts was 0-for-4 and Teoscar Hernadez 0-for-3 yesterday.
Without those three hitting, we barely eked out the two runs we needed to win Game 1--but let's remember, we've scored two runs or fewer against the Brewers in five of seven games this season, and last night's game was the only time we came out with a win.
And Andy Pages, 0-for-3 yesterday, is now batting .037 in the postseason. I mean, I don't hope for Michael Conforto (who thankfully is not on the NLCS roster). But even he can hit better than .037.
Not to mention, Teoscar fricking' TOOTBLANned yesterday, as well.
If the best highlight the Brewers get from the 2025 NLCS is this absurd double play, I'd be thrilled. Unfortunately, I think they'll have many more highlights in this series. Hopefully, just not any Brewers highlights tonight.
Blake Snell named as the Dodgers' starter for 2025 NLCS Game 1. That pushes Shohei Ohtani all the way to a start at Dodger Stadium (with Yoshinobu Yamamoto getting Game 2's start), which means he will only see one rotation this series:
"He'll pitch at some point, but we just don't know which day," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said on Sunday.
Unlike in previous spots, the Dodgers are not concerned with pitching Ohtani before a day off, choosing to maximize rest for the other starters as the team embarks on its first best-of-seven series this postseason.
"Not as important," Roberts said. "I think just appreciating having four starters in a potential seven-game series and who can pitch potentially twice, and that's kind of the impetus, versus Shohei having that day off after a game."MILWAUKEE -- The Los Angeles Dodgers will start lefty Blake Snell in Game 1 of the NLCS against the Milwaukee Brewers on Monday night while righty Yoshinobu Yamamoto will get the ball in Game 2. It means Shohei Ohtani will get just one start in the series, during the middle leg back in Los Angeles.
Hoo boy. Here we go.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto (12-8, 2.49) vs. Aaron Nola (5-10, 6.01).
Yoshinobu Yamamoto gets his second start of the postseason, following a clinching NLWC Game 2 in which he went 6.2 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 0 ER (thanks, Teoscar!) 2 BB and 9 Ks, to earn the victory. We've got a chance for Yamamoto to clinch another series tonight.
Aaron Nola gets the nod over Ranger Suarez, which is a little bit of a surprise:
Though Nola is the longest-tenured Phillie and certainly has a proven track record, he went just 5-10 with a 6.01 ERA in 17 starts this season. He missed three months from mid-May to mid-August due to a sprained right ankle and a stress fracture in one of his ribs.
I'm not sleeping on this one, though. Nola did see the Dodgers on April 5, 2025, in a losing effort (Dodgers won 3-1; Nola went 6.0 IP and gave up all three ER). He is 3-3 with a 4.31 ERA in 12 starts against the Dodgers, lifetime.
But Nola may just be a feint anyway, with Suarez rarin' to go. From the same mlb.com piece:
Despite his struggles this season, it’s worth noting that Nola has typically navigated the opposing lineup pretty well the first time through. Opponents hit just .252 with a .693 OPS against Nola when facing him for the first time. That OPS jumped to .797 the second time through -- and 1.005 the third time.Thomson will undoubtedly have a quick hook with the Phillies’ season on the line, but even if Nola is pitching well, it’s possible he’s asked only to get through the Dodgers’ lineup one time.
Suarez also pitched three innings of 3 ER ball against us, on September 15, 2025, in a game the Dodgers lost 6-5 in 10 innings. He is 3-2 with a 3.64 ERA against the Dodgers across eight starts. But he pitches well in Dodger Stadium, which is one of his top-five tOPS+ stadium across his career (by comparison, Nola has a 95 tOPS+ at Dodger Stadium).
Coming home gives the Dodgers a chance to smoothen out some of those very rough fielding edges that we've seen for most of this postseason (I'm looking at you, Teoscar, Max, and Tommy). Not to mention, it would be nice to see Andy Pages have a good AB for a change.
Let's go, Dodgers!
DODGERS 8, REDS 4 DODGERS WIN NLWC 2-0
The other Wild Card series today were pure chaos. Cleveland rose from the dead, scoring five in the bottom of the eighth inning, to tie their series 1-1. San Diego punched back in Chicago, with Manny Machado hitting a key two-run HR in the fifth, to tie their series 1-1. And then Jazz Chisholm's speed saved the Yankees' bacon, with New York downing Boston 4-3, to tie their series 1-1.
That left the Dodgers/Reds series, with the Dodgers up 1-0 in the series. It sure looked like the baseball gods wanted another WC series tie, when Teoscar Hernandez boffed a lazy fly ball in the first inning to put the Reds up 2-0 and drive Yoshinobu Yamamoto's pitch count up by almost double.
But the Dodgers battled back to take a 3-2 lead in the fourth, and then opened up for four runs in the sixth to make it 7-2 Los Angeles. In the seventh inning, Mookie Betts doubled in another run; Betts went 4-for-5 with 3 RBI and was the player of the game. Betts batted .667 with a 1.700 OPS in this NL Wild Card series, which is just unreal, even with the small sample size.
Meanwhile, despite being behind from the start, Yamamoto perservered and had an outstanding outing: 113 pitches, 6.2 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 0 ER, 2 BB and 9 Ks. The 113 pitches was his season high.
Leave it to the Dodgers to crumble in the eighth--again!--with Emmet Sheehan getting only one out and giving up two ER (and two walks), before Alex Vesia (who was hopeless last night) came in mid-AB and got a one-pitch striekout before striking out TJ Friedl (the tying run!) to escape a bases loaded jam.
I think I heard Rick Monday say that the Dodgers used 100 pitches to get through the two eighth innings in this NLWC series. That is just not going to cut it.
Roki Sasaki had a clean ninth inning to close out the game, which is a good sign. The Dodgers had three errors in this game: Teosscar Hernandez' error, then Kiké Hernandez and Ben Rortvedt joined the sloppy parade.
That lousy bullpen and lazy fielding ain't gonna cut it in Philadelphia. We need to regroup, fast.
And I'm not even going to talk about Andy Pages being 0-for-9 with 2 Ks this series.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto vs. Zack Littell.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto had a 5.0 WAR this season (second highest on the team, only to Shohei Ohtani). Yamamoto pitched against Cincinnati on July 28, going 7.0 IP (4 H, 1 ER, 2 BB and 9 Ks), earning his ninth victory of the season.
Zack Littell (3.2 WAR) was picked by the Reds at this year's trade deadline from the Rays. He went 2-0 with the Reds across 10 starts, sporting a 4.39 ERA which was a bit worse than his 3.58 ERA with Tampa Bay (where he went 8-8). He did not face the Dodgers this season.
I've got mixed feelings about last night's victory, given it showed our clear strengths (starting pitching and the home run firepower) as well as our weaknesses (most of the bullpen). Let's get the win today so we can wrap this up; I'd realy hate for a Game 3 to happen.
The Dodgers earned their 12th National League West Division title and their 13th National League Postseason berth in 13 years. That's only one appearance short of the record, held by the Atlanta Braves from 1991 to 2005 (with 1994 having no postseason). The New York Yankees also have 13 consecutive playoff seasons, frm 1995-2007.
The Dodgers last missed the postseason in 2012. In 2013, the Dodgers beat the Braves in the NLDS before losing to the Cardinals (who lost to the Red Sox in the World Series). And the playoff run started from there:
Yoshinobu Yamamoto had six scoreless innings (4 H, 2 BB and 7 Ks); Tanner Scott had an inning where he did not implode; Anthony Banda cleaned up the ninth.
Shohei Ohtani had his 54th home run in the fourth inning; Freddie Freeman had two HR, and Andy Pages added a homer to boot. Even Kiké Hernandez had two hits.
And now, we wait to see who our Wild Card round opponent will be.
Here's to a happy flight to Seattle for the final series of the season! Congratulations, 2025 Dodgers!
