Dodgers’ Kenley Jansen gives up solo home run to Randy Arozarena before closing out Rays
By Scott Allen
Despite giving up a solo home run, Kenley Jansen closed the door on the Rays and gave the Dodgers a 2-1 series lead.
Jansen struck out Austin Meadows on three pitches before getting Brandon Lowe to fly out to right for the first two outs of the frame. Randy Arozarena followed with a line drive homer to left field to cut the Dodgers’ lead to 6-2. It was the rookie sensation’s eighth home run of the playoffs, tying him with Barry Bonds (2002), Carlos Beltran (2004) and Nelson Cruz (2011) for the most in a single postseason. Arozarena also broke Derek Jeter’s record for most hits by a rookie in the playoffs with 23. Ji-Man Choi lined out to left field to end the game.

Austin Barnes’s solo home run gives Dodgers a 6-1 lead in the sixth
By Scott Allen
The Dodgers got the run they gave up in the fifth back in the sixth on a two-out solo home run by Austin Barnes. Yes, the same Austin Barnes who drove in a run in the fourth inning with a sacrifice bunt. Mookie Betts followed with a single and his fourth stolen base of the series before Corey Seager walked. Justin Turner flied out to center to end the frame.
Before the inning, players emerged from their dugouts and fans in the crowd stood for the annual “Stand Up to Cancer” moment.

A one-out walk by Kevin Kiermaier in the third inning gave the Rays their first baserunner of the game against Walker Buehler.

Dodgers extend lead to 3-0 in the third on a two-out single by Max Muncy
By Scott Allen
With two outs and nobody on in the top of the third, Rays starter Charlie Morton ran into trouble. He hit Corey Seager in the foot before allowing a double to left by Justin Turner, who homered in the first, and then gave up a two-run single to Max Muncy on a 3-2 slider that caught too much of the plate.
The Dodgers’ 48 runs with two outs in these playoffs are the most by any team in a single postseason. (This is the first year with a 16-team playoff field and a best-of-three first round, but the point stands: the Dodgers have been clutch.)

Justin Turner gives the Dodgers a 1-0 lead in the first inning with solo home run
By Scott Allen
Justin Turner gave the Dodgers the early lead with a two-out solo home run in the first inning off Charlie Morton, who had allowed one earned run in his three postseason starts this year combined.
Turner’s homer overshadowed a nice pick at first base by Tampa Bay’s Ji-Man Choi, who did the splits to come up with shortstop Willy Adames’s one-hopped throw to retire Mookie Betts for the first out of the game.
