The Dodgers lost to the San Francisco Giants at Dodger Stadium on Sunday, but they reminded fans they'll return home for playoff games.

Kershaw struck out Rafael Devers in the top of the fifth inning before exiting the game. Kershaw received a standing ovation after recording the out. The Dodgers earned a 6-3 victory over the San Francisco Giants and also clinched a playoff spot.

Pinch-hitter Patrick Bailey had a tying RBI double during the Giants’ three-run rally in the eighth, and San Francisco battered Dodgers reliever Blake Treinen to seize one victory from a four-game series with a 3-1 victory over Los Angeles.

There have been 39 winner-take-all Game 5s in Division Series history since the best-of-five series was added to the postseason docket in 1995, when MLB expanded to allow a Wild Card team from each league.

In his last two outings, Snell has thrown a combined 14 innings and allowed just two hits and no runs while striking out 19. His first playoff outing was a win, too, going seven frames and giving up just two runs while striking out nine.

A star-studded World Series Game 1 came to a fitting conclusion, with injured Dodgers slugger Freddie Freeman hitting a walk-off grand slam to beat the Yankees in extra innings.
