The Los Angeles Dodgers brought out the big sticks on Friday night, slugging five home runs to earn a win over the L.A. Angels in the Freeway Series opener.
The victory officially eliminated the Angels from postseason contention, meaning there are no playoff implications for either team the rest of the weekend at Dodger Stadium. That doesn’t mean the Dodgers aren’t taking the games seriously, however, with the postseason just around the corner.
They go for the series win on Saturday night and send Tony Gonsolin to the mound to do so in his final audition for a spot in the playoff rotation.
