The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the San Diego Padres 2-0 in Game 5 of the National League Division Series Friday night.
Two solo home runs from Kiké Hernández and Teoscar Hernández was enough for the Dodgers to advance to the NLCS.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto held off the Padres through five scoreless innings. His final stat line featured two strikeouts, two hits, and one walk. It was an ideal start for the 25-year-old right-hander who threw 39 strikes in his 63-pitch outing. The bullpen was tasked with doing the rest, and they did.
Yamamoto opened Game 5 at Dodger Stadium with a 1-2-3 inning on 10 pitches.
