In a fast-paced pitchers' duel, the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the San Diego Padres Friday night to advance to the National League Championship.
The boys in blue now have home field advantage when they take on the New York Mets this Sunday in a best of seven series. The winner goes on to the World Series.
The Dodger 2-0 victory over San Diego came two solo home runs, one by Kiké Hernandez in the bottom of the 2nd and Teoscar Hernandez in the bottom of the 7th.

We'll have more on the celebration and what's next.
As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.

LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
