The Los Angeles Dodgers eliminated the Philadelphia Phillies in the National League Division Series after an error by reliever Orion Kerkering. The game was tied at one apiece, and with that unfortunate play by the pitcher, everything went downhill for Philadelphia.

Both the Dodgers and the Phillies rank as two of the best teams so far this decade. The Dodgers are particularly noteworthy, with a 551-319 record, while Philadelphia has a 478-392 record
