Dodgers Take Game One of NLDS

The Dodgers won the first game of the 2019 NLDS, and they did it on the strength of stellar pitching and Max Muncy‘s bat. Oh, and a couple home runs just for insurance.

The Dodgers pitching staff held the Nationals to just two hits, and striking out 13.

Los Angeles started the scoring early, by being patient. Patrick Corbin couldn’t find the strike zone in the first, and walked four batters. That matched his career high in walks against the Dodgers in a game.

Walker Buehler faced the minimum through three, but ran into some trouble in the fourth inning.
