Dodgers Advance to the World Series for the First Time since 1988

The Dodgers trusted their ace Clayton Kershaw and he stepped up to the task. Kershaw threw six innings and allowed 1 home run with five strikeouts. Can we finally get the monkey off Kershaw’s back?!? Maybe that’s a little premature, but Kershaw was in control tonight and is very much deserving of that champagne.

The story of the night has to come back to the Dodgers’ offense. A team that has scored 17 runs in the NLCS prior to game 5 and added 9 more runs to that total to end the series. Tonight the offense had an impressive performance.
