The MLB Division Series kicked off on Saturday, with the Los Angeles Dodgers taking on the Philadelphia Phillies in Game 1 of the NLDS.
The Phillies built a 3-0 lead early, but the Dodgers chipped away and then broke through with a clutch homer from Teoscar Hernández in the seventh inning. Shohei Ohtani delivered a quality start, and the Dodgers bullpen protected the lead to take Game 1.
Following a series sweep of the Cincinnati Reds in the Wild Card round, the Dodgers emerged as favorites to defend their World Series title.
