Chris Taylor Slams 3 Homers in NLCS Game 5 Against Braves

Chris Taylor's jersey may have prophesied what would come for the Dodgers star during Game 5 of the National League Championship Series.

He is the first player in MLB postseason history to have a three-homer game in a potential elimination competition, and joins Kiké Hernández as the only Los Angeles players in franchise history with a three-homer postseason game, per Dodger Insider.

Taylor's first home run off a first-pitch fastball by Atlanta left-hander Max Fried gave the Dodgers a 3-2 lead in the second inning after falling behind the Braves, 2-0, in the first.
