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.
