With their 4-1 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday, the Dodgers have won the National League Division Series! They're onto the National League Championship Series next, starting Sunday…
I mean, I guess the first thing that jumps out with this game that was so good to see such an encouraging note to end this series on is it's kind of the Andy Pajais game.
And, you know, Andy Pajais, in spite of the fact that he was a part of that most iconic catch in Game 7 of last year's World Series where he collided with Kike, and luckily Pajais caught the ball and the game continued past the bottom of the ninth inning, giving us a chance to ultimately win that game.
That was basically his only meaningful contribution to last year's postseason.
And then after having a really great first half of the season this year and becoming an all-star for the first time, this postseason, the first couple games of the NLDS, Andy was also having a hard time not getting a hit.
He had a really bad ABS challenge that did not go his way early on in a game.
And then Dave Roberts, I read, approached him and asked him not to challenge.
And then today, you know, he drove in two of, yeah, it was two of the runs.
Um, yeah, it was just really cool to see that it came from Páez, uh, 'cause to that point, you know, each team had allowed a run kind of with sloppy playing, and it was a one-one game.
And then Páez with a very decisive hard-hit ball up the middle drove in, uh, Tommy Edmund and Te'o, and that's all that we needed.
Uh, we did get a little bit more at the very end of the night from none other than Max Muncy hitting his 19th postseason home run, 17 as a Dodger.
That put him in the top spot in that category, and now he's just adding to that every day.
He had another ball, uh, that would've been a home run in a lot of ballparks, um, that got caught with really good play by Michael Harris II.
He walked five, but he only gave up the one run and, uh, didn't get super deep into the game, but it was, like I said, enough to hand the ball to Alex Vesia, Enriquez, who ended up getting the win in relief, Tanner Scott for the eighth, and then for the second consecutive night, Edwin Diaz for the ninth inning to get the save.
