The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the San Diego Padres 2-0 on Friday night to win the National League Division Series in five games. As a result, the Dodgers head back to the National League Championship Series, where they face the New York Mets.

That series starts Sunday evening in Los Angeles.

In this win, the Dodgers hit two home runs that accounted for all the scoring. Enrique Hernandez and Teoscar Hernandez both hit blasts.

In addition, the Dodgers got a historic pitching performance from Yoshinobu Yamamoto and four relievers. Yamamoto threw 5.0 scoreless innings, giving up only two hits and walking one. Evan Phillips, Alex Vesia, Michael Kopech and Blake Treinen then closed the door for the final four innings.

Per Sarah Langs of MLB.com on social media:

the Dodgers retired their last 19 batters in a row, tied with the Dodgers in 1952 WS G5 for 6th place to end a postseason game, trailing by only:

1956 WS G5 Yankees: 27 (Larsen!)
ALDS G5 Royals 2015: 22
1990 WS G4 Red: 22
1926 WS G2 Cardinals: 21
1915 WS G3 Red Sox: 20

And this one…

fewest number of baserunners allowed in the winner-take-all postseason game:

2022 NLWCS G3 Padres: 2
ALDS G5 Royals 2015: 2
2024 NLDS G5 Dodgers: 3

And one more…

Dodgers’ longest scoreless IP streaks, postseason only:

2024: 24 *active (NLDS G3-pres.)
2016: 21 (NLCS G2-4)
2018: 19 (NLDS G1-3)
1988: 18 (WS G1-3)

What the Dodgers have accomplished on the mound is certainly impressive considering how much talent they have on the injured list. Clayton Kershaw, Tyler Glasnow and Tony Gonsolin all can’t throw. Emmett Sheehan is also out for a year and Shohei Ohtani cannot pitch at all this season as he recovers from Tommy John surgery.
