Los Angeles Dodgers beat San Francisco Giants in Game 5 thriller to advance to NLCS

SAN FRANCISCO -- The Los Angeles Dodgers are heading back to the National League Championship Series, and they owe a lot of it to Cody Bellinger, an old friend with a new attitude.

Bellinger, who is crafting the type of postseason that might go a long way toward expunging a miserable, injury-filled regular season, drove a slider from San Francisco Giants reliever Camilo Doval into center field for an RBI single that scored the winning run in the Dodgers' 2-1 victory in a do-or-die Game 5 of the NL Division Series on Thursday night at Oracle Park.
