The Dodgers finished the season leading the lead with a .395 on-base percentage and were in the top five of several other categories.

Back-to-back solo home runs by Mairoshendrick Martinus and Joendry Vargas got the Dodgers on the board after trailing 2-0 early. Designated hitter Roger Lasso had quite the night going 2-for-4 with a double and four runs batted in.

Right-hander Dilan Figueredo earned the win pitching 2.2 innings of scoreless relief. He was the only pitcher to enter the game and not allow a run. He also struck out three.

The Dodgers took a combined no-hitter into the eighth inning in the Game 1 of the finals. Hyun-Seok Jang struck out eight of 11 batters faced and pitched three innings. He walked one, and another batter reached on an error.
