The Dodgers are headed to their first World Series since 1988. They crushed the Cubs 11-1 in Game Five of the National League Championship Series in Chicago. Kike Hernandez homered three times, including a grand slam, and drove in seven for LA. Clayton Kershaw allowed just three hits and one run in six innings for the win. Jose Quintana gave up six runs in two-plus frames to take the loss.
Kris Bryant homered for Chicago. Chris Taylor and Justin Turner shared NLCS MVP honors. The Dodgers won the best-of-seven series 4-1 and will face either the Yankees or Astros in the Fall Classic.
