LOS ANGELES—Dodgers Chris Taylor is the first to hit three postseason home runs in an elimination game. It’s only happened 11 other times that three home runs were hit in a postseason game.
Taylor had a total of four hits and drove in six runs in Thursday’s Game 5 of the NLCS. The Dodgers fans had not seen much of the high-powered offense of the Dodgers in the postseason. But the over 51,000 faithful were treated with a sensational 11 runs from 17 hits.
