The Los Angeles Dodgers dominated Game 1 of the National League Championship Series, downing the New York Mets 9-0.<\/p>\n

Here are three takeaways from the action:<\/p>\n

Top of the lineup delivers for Dodgers<\/strong><\/p>\n

Max Muncy (two RBI) and Tommy Edman (one RBI) contributed three runs at the bottom of the Dodgers lineup, but the team’s one-through three hitters carried the weight. Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman went 5-of-11, knocking in five of L.A.’s nine runs with three walks and zero strikeouts.<\/p>\n

The Dodgers’ offensive attack was extremely efficient, tallying nine runs (seven earned) off nine hits despite not hitting a home run. Furthermore, they finished 5-of-11 with runners in scoring position and recorded four two-out RBI.<\/p>\n

At the start of the series, the Dodgers’ shaky starting pitching situation gave some pause about how they’d fare against the miracle Mets. However, in Game 1, the offense made those questions irrelevant.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
