In the other NLDS, the Diamondbacks jump off to a quick 2 – 0 lead on a two-run homer by Paul Goldschmidt off Rich Hill in the top of the 1st, but the Dodgers take advantage of Robbie Ray’s wildness to score seven unanswered runs by the end of the 5th. Pinch-hitter Brandon Drury hits a three-run homer off Brandon Morrow in the 7th to make the score closer, but Los Angeles ends up an 8 – 5 winner.

In Game 2 of the NLDS, Chicago has 3 – 1 lead heading into the bottom of the 8th, thanks to a solo homer by Willson Contreras and a two-run shot by Anthony Rizzo, both off Gio Gonzalez, but Washington explodes for 5 runs against Carl Edwards and Mike Montgomery to take a 6 – 3 win and even the series at one apiece. In the fateful inning, Bryce Harper hits a two-run shot and Ryan Zimmerman another good for 3 runs as all the scoring comes on long balls (Anthony Rendon had homered in the 1st for Washington’s other run).
