Dodgers beat Giants after questionable check swing call ends NLDS Game 5

San Francisco Giants fans are going to be upset about this one for a long, long time.

The Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Giants 2-1 in Game 5 of the National League Divisional Series on Thursday night at Oracle Park, capping a thrilling series between two of the best teams in the league.

That game, however, ended after Giants first baseman Wilmer Flores struck out on a checked swing. With two down and Kris Bryant standing on first for the Giants, Flores appeared to hold up on his swing after a Max Scherzer pitch that the umpire behind the plate didn’t call.
