SAN FRANCISCO—The rivalry between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Francisco Giants began over 130 years ago. Hall of Fame Dodgers announcer Vin Scully tweeted that Thursday night’s Game 5 “is the most important game in the history of their rivalry.” It’s their first-ever post-season series meeting for the NLDS title. The Dodgers pulled through to win with a final score of 2–1. The game was filled with high drama, but ended in controversy.
As expected, it was a defensive pitchers’ duel between Giants young ace Logan Webb, and eventually, Dodgers Julio Urias. Webb had shut out the Dodgers in Game 1. In this game, he gave up four hits total, and one run in the sixth, before being relieved after seven complete innings.
