Dominant pitching and plenty of timely hitting as the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the New York Mets 9-0 to win Game 1 of the NLCS. Jack Flaherty was brilliant, allowing two hits while striking out six to earn the win. Despite a long list of injured players, the Dodgers pitchers were dominant this postseason. Monday’s shutout extended their scoreless streak to an MLB record at 33 innings. The top of the LA lineup – Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman – was electric, going 5-11 with 5 RBIs to pace the offense.

The Mets surprised many starting Kodai Senga in the opener. He walked a basesloaded walk in the 1^st and managed only 4 outs, allowing only 2 hits but 3 runs. The Mets couldn’t generate any offense in Game 1 with only 2 hits and 3 walks.

Sean Manaea takes the mound for the Mets in Game 2, while the Dodgers have yet to announce their starter for this afternoon’s game at Chavez Ravine.
