"Freeman's homer was huge at the moment, and it also moved him into a tie atop an impressive MLB postseason record. It was his 10th career go-ahead home run in the playoffs, matching Jose Altuve of the Houston Astros for the most all-time, according to Sarah Langs of MLB.com: Freddie Freeman now has 10 go-ahead home runs in his postseason career That's tied with Jose Altuve for most in postseason history - Sarah Langs (@SlangsOnSports) October 14, 2025"
"Of course, one could argue Altuve's comes with an asterisk after the Astros were found guilty of cheating during the 2017-2019 postseasons with a sign-stealing scandal, making Freeman's clean accomplishment all the more impressive. Freeman has spent the entirety of his career between two franchises - the Atlanta Braves and Dodgers - and he has had numerous memorable postseason moments for both."
The Los Angeles Dodgers won Game 1 of the NLCS at Milwaukee, prevailing 2-1 in a pitchers' duel. The game was scoreless until Freddie Freeman's sixth-inning solo home run gave the Dodgers a lead. Each team scored once in the ninth, preserving the 2-1 final. Freeman's homer was his 10th career go-ahead postseason home run, tying Jose Altuve for the all-time lead, according to Sarah Langs. The Astros' 2017-2019 sign-stealing scandal clouds Altuve's mark, highlighting Freeman's clean accomplishment. Freeman has played for the Atlanta Braves and Dodgers and hit the first World Series walk-off grand slam in 2024.
