The Los Angeles Dodgers dominated Sport 1 of the Nationwide League Championship Collection, downing the New York Mets 9-0.
Listed below are three takeaways from the motion:
Prime of the lineup delivers for Dodgers
Max Muncy (two RBI) and Tommy Edman (one RBI) contributed three runs on the backside of the Dodgers lineup, however the staff’s one-through three hitters carried the burden. Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman went 5-of-11, knocking in 5 of L.A.’s 9 runs with three walks and 0 strikeouts.
The Dodgers’ offensive assault was extraordinarily environment friendly, tallying 9 runs (seven earned) off 9 hits regardless of not hitting a house run. Moreover, they completed 5-of-11 with runners in scoring place and recorded 4 two-out RBI.
Initially of the collection, the Dodgers’ shaky beginning pitching scenario gave some pause about how they’d fare in opposition to the miracle Mets. Nevertheless, in Sport 1, the offense made these questions irrelevant.
