“NLDS Game 3: Dodgers Slug Past Padres Behind Hernández, Freeman Homers and Yamamoto Gem” — what this page in the network covers. The Los Angeles Dodgers moved within one win of the National League Championship Series after a 5-2 victory over the San Diego Padres in Game 3 of the NLDS. Enrique Hernández and Freddie Freeman each homered, providing the offensive spark, while Yoshinobu Yamamoto delivered another dominant outing on the mound. Yamamoto allowed just one run over five innings, striking out six, to keep the Padres' bats quiet.
The Dodgers now lead the best-of-five series 2-1 and can clinch at home in Game 4. San Diego's Chris Sale was effective but not enough, as he surrendered three runs over five innings. The Padres will need to win consecutive games to advance, a tall order against a Dodgers team that has now won 11 of their last 13 meetings.
