"Yoshinobu Yamamoto struck out a postseason-high nine while pitching into the seventh inning and the Los Angeles Dodgers broke it open with a four-run sixth to beat the Cincinnati Reds 8-4 on Wednesday night and advance to the National League Division Series. The defending World Series champion Dodgers advanced to their 20th NLDS appearance 13th in a row in franchise history and will face the Phillies starting Saturday in Philadelphia."
"After hitting a franchise playoff-tying five home runs in a 10-5 win in the NL wildcard series opener Tuesday, the Dodgers eliminated the Reds by playing small ball and rapping out 13 hits two fewer than in Game 1. Mookie Betts went 4 for 5 with three doubles, tying Jim Gilliam in Game 4 of the 1953 World Series for most doubles in a single postseason game in team history."
Yoshinobu Yamamoto struck out nine and pitched into the seventh inning, helping the Dodgers to an 8-4 win that advanced Los Angeles to the National League Division Series. The Dodgers scored a four-run sixth to break the game open and recorded 13 hits while relying on small-ball offense after a five-homer outing in the opener. Mookie Betts went 4-for-5 with three doubles, tying a team postseason record for doubles in a game. The Reds loaded the bases in the sixth but failed to capitalize after a fielder's choice and back-to-back swinging strikeouts ended the threat.
