Dodgers Defeat Diamondbacks 9-5 in NLDS Game 1; Justin Turner with 5 RBI

Justin Turner knocked in five runs and Yasiel Puig drove in two more as the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks 9-5 in Game 1 of their National League Championship Series.

Per Scott Miller of Bleacher Report, Turner's five RBI tied a team postseason record:

Turner's three-run homer sparked a four-run opening frame in which the first five Dodgers reached base safely. He added a run-scoring single in the fourth inning and another in the eighth.

Four Arizona Diamondbacks (A.J. Pollock, J.D. Martinez, Ketel Marte and Jeff Mathis) hit solo home runs off Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw, but he earned the win by going 6.
