Be a hero, Chris Taylor.
It almost seemed unfair that the powerhouse Los Angeles Dodgers had to play a single-elimination game, but their playoff run will continue thanks to Taylor's walk-off homer in the bottom of the ninth inning.
Los Angeles defeated the St. Louis Cardinals 3-1 in Wednesday's win-or-go-home National League Wild Card Game at Dodger Stadium thanks to his blast. The pitching staff also led the way for the victors, who finished with the second-most wins in the league at 106.
A solid start from Adam Wainwright wasn't enough for the Cardinals, who were unable to build on the momentum their late-season 17-game winning streak created before the playoffs.
