As we prepare for the upcoming 2024 World Series showdown against the New York Yankees, let’s take a moment to look back at the thrilling National League Championship Series.
The Dodgers emerged victorious over the New York Mets in a six-game series, winning 4-2 with an impressive display of dominance. Throughout the series, the Dodgers showcased their talent and determination, scoring a total of 46 runs and proving themselves as the superior team. Now, they are eager to carry that momentum into the World Series.
Highlighted below are some of the standout moments from the NLCS triumph:
The series saw the Dodgers set multiple records, starting with their Game 1 victory. Following that win, Dodgers pitchers went on a streak of 33 consecutive scoreless innings in the playoffs before conceding a run in Game 2. Despite missing out on breaking the record, they still equaled a longstanding milestone in postseason history.
Max Muncy left his mark on the series by setting a postseason record for reaching base in 12 consecutive games. His stellar performance in Game 4, where the Dodgers secured a 10-2 victory, showcased his versatility and impact on the team.
The dynamic duo of Mookie Betts and Shohei Ohtani also shone in the NLCS, displaying their elite skills and potential future Hall of Fame talent. Betts delivered a standout performance with a .346 batting average, while Ohtani impressed with a .364 average and significant contributions across the board.
Tommy Edman, the NLCS MVP, emerged as the series hero with his exceptional batting average of .407, making him only the third player ever to achieve double-digit hits and RBIs in a single postseason series. His remarkable comeback from injury earlier in the season added to his heroics on the field.
The World Series action kicks off on Friday at 5:08 p.m. PT.
