Everything went great for the Dodgers in the first game of the National League Championship Series that they started at home. Defensively and offensively they were inspired, catching incredible balls and working every shift to advance without grandiloquence, but with effectiveness. Thus, the Los Angeles team won the first game with a shutout against the New York Mets, who never met on the field, with a score of 9-0. The Angelenos’ numbers are astonishing, they reached 33 scoreless innings and tied the record of the 1905 New York Giants.
Jack Flaherty was on the Dodgers’ mound for seven wonderful innings. In that route, unusual these days, he struck out six, allowed only two hits and issued a pair of walks. The precision of his throws also had the impeccable support of the rest of the defense that intervened to make the Angelenos’ game even more brilliant.
In the seventh inning, for example, Starling Marte hit a long ball that went deep into center field, a shot that could hurt the pitcher, but outfielder Kevin Kiermaier appeared like a miracle and caught a ball that seemed intractable.
When he finished his work, the entire bench stood up to congratulate Flaherty for the piece of pitching he offered in this inaugural duel. The pitcher did not overflow with joy and only said: You have to think about one pitch at a time, a series is played one game at a time and this is only the first
.
But the Dodgers were also inspired on offense. From the first inning they scored thanks to Max Muncy, who hit a drive to center field and drove in the first two runs of the night.
As if there was an urgency not to waste innings without stepping on the register, in the second reel star Shohei Ohtani hit a single that was enough to produce the Dodgers’ third. The Japanese showed that he is a complete player, it is not just home runs that win a game and this man has an amazing repertoire.
In the fourth inning, the Dodgers made themselves felt with power. A three-score inning. First Tommy Edman produced one with a single. Then, Ohtani was close to the home run, but his ball stayed on the center field wall, but enough for Edman to step on the recorder. Then, Freddie Freeman singled that drove in Ohtani, who had not stepped on the base. home.
The game was already decided, but the Dodgers did not waste the opportunities that the Mets offered. A double by Mookie Betts sent three men to the register, one of those scores was by Ohtani. With nine runs on the board and a zero from New York, it painted an incomparable picture for the Los Angeles team. The series begins with the acronym LA flying.
