Dodgers Advance to World Series After NLCS Win

Shohei Ohtani and Max Muncy made history for the Los Angeles Dodgers by reaching base 17 times each in the NLCS against the New York Mets, sharing the Dodgers' all-time record for most times reaching base safely in a single postseason series. The Dodgers defeated the Mets 10-5 in Game 6 to secure a spot in the World Series against the New York Yankees. Muncy also matched Babe Ruth and Gene Tenace for the second-most walks in a single series in MLB postseason history with 11 walks. The Dodgers' success has been attributed to their depth and resilience amid injuries and strategic challenges, showcasing their adaptability under manager Dave Roberts. The upcoming World Series is highly anticipated, featuring two iconic teams, the Dodgers and the Yankees, each bringing their own storied history and drama to the championship. Freddie Freeman's absence in the lineup due to an ankle injury led to positional shifts, with Chris Taylor, Max Muncy, and Enrique Hernandez adjusting to cover key positions.
