Ernie Clement now has 30 hits this postseason, most in a single playoffs all time according to the FOX broadcast.
I don’t think Clement’s postseason has been hyped up enough.
Emmet Sheehan is chased and Blake Snell will come on in relief.

Max Muncy solo home run. Deep right field.
The Dodgers are within one.

Also, hats off to Trey Yesavage. He pitched seven innings of one-run ball with 12 strikeouts in Game 5.
Yesavage pitched a scoreless seventh inning in Game 7 working around Ohtani, Will Smith and Freddie Freeman.

Gimenez added his first RBI of the game with a double that scored Ernie Clement in the bottom half of the sixth inning.
