Dodgers keep up NLDS run of scoring in first

The first baseman launched a two-run homer off Nationals starter Joe Ross into the right-field pavilion, giving Los Angeles yet another first-inning lead -- this time, 2-1.

In each of the first three games of the series it was Corey Seager who put the Dodgers on top with RBI extra-base hits -- including home runs in Games 1 and 2. On Tuesday, Seager went down swinging for the second out of the first.

Then, Ross plunked third baseman Justin Turner, before Gonzalez mashed a 1-1 fastball a Statcast-projected 404 feet. It was the sixth career postseason home run for Gonzalez -- all of which have come for Los Angeles.
