LOS ANGELES DODGERS (104-58) at Houston Astros (101-61) RHP Yu Darvish (2-0, 1.59) vs. RHP Lance McCullers Jr. (0-0, 2.00) Friday, October 27, 2017 7:20 p.m. CT Minute Maid Park Houston, TX World Series Game 3 (Series tied 1-1) TV: FOX Radio: AM 570 (Eng.); 1020 AM (Span.), ESPN Radio, AM 1540 (Kor.) #THISTEAM: The World Series was evened at 1-1 Wednesday night, following a 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Houston Astros. Despite coming up short of the comeback in Game 2, Los Angeles looks to take the lead once again as the series shifts to Houston tonight for Game 3. The Dodgers are 8-2 this Postseason, including a 3-1 mark on the road. Los Angeles is in search of its seventh World Series title in franchise history. The Dodgers are playing in the World Series for the 19 th time in franchise history (1916, 20, 41, 47, 49, 52, 53, 55, 56, 59, 63, 65, 66, 74, 77, 78, 81 and 88). The Dodgers and Astros met once before in the Postseason, with Los Angeles winning a five-game Division Series, necessitated by the 1981 strike. The Dodgers dropped the first two games at the Astrodome in Houston, before roaring back to win three straight at Chavez Ravine, culminating with a Game 5 victory in which Jerry Reuss fired a shutout and L.A. broke a scoreless tie with three runs off Hall of Famer Nolan Ryan in the sixth inning. This series marks the first time two clubs with 100+ wins are facing each other in the Fall Classic since 1970. In that World Series, the Baltimore Orioles (108 wins) beat the Cincinnati Reds (102 wins) in five games. BOMB SQUAD: The Dodger offense stroked four home runs in Game 2 on Wednesday night as Joc Pederson, Corey Seager, Yasiel Puig and Charlie Culberson provided the longballs. Despite having played just two World Series games, the club has recorded six homers, which is tied for fifth most in the Fall Classic in franchise history. The 1955 Brooklyn Dodgers (seven games) and the 1977 Los Angeles Dodgers (six games) currently hold the record with nine home runs hit in the World Series. The eight combined home runs hit in Game 2 were the most homers in a single-game in World Series history. Dodger All-Star shortstop Corey Seager blasted his first home run of the Postseason and his third of his career with a two-run shot in the sixth inning of Game 2 to put the Dodgers up 3-1. At 23 years, 181 days old, Seager became the second-youngest Dodger ever to homer in the Fall Classic, behind only Pete Reiser in Game 4 of the 1941 World Series (22 years, 202 days old). DARVISH DEALIN : The Dodgers will send right-hander Yu Darvish to the mound tonight for his third start of the 2017 Postseason and the fifth of his career. Darvish has gone 2-2 with a 3.52 ERA (9 ER/23.0 IP) in his Postseason career and has won both his starts in this year s playoffs, while allowing just two runs in 11.1 innings (1.59 ERA). In those two starts, he has struck out 14 batters against just one walk and has held hitters to a.195 average (8-for- 41). The Japan native went 4-3 with a 3.44 ERA (19 ER/49.2 IP) and punched out 61 batters against just 13 walks, while limiting the opposition to a.235 average in nine starts since being acquired by the Dodgers at the July 31 trade deadline. Overall, the four-time All- Star went 10-12 in 31 combined starts with Texas and Los Angeles this season and posted a 3.86 ERA, while striking out 209 batters (12th, ML) against 58 walks. Darvish is 5-5 with a 3.44 ERA (34 ER/89.0 IP) in 14 career starts against the Astros and went 1-1 with a 3.00 ERA (4 ER/12.0 IP) in two starts against Houston this season. He has punched out a career 118 Astros batters against just 30 walks and has held hitters to a.199 average. He has fared well at Minute Maid Park in his career, going 4-1 with a 2.16 ERA (10 ER/41.2 IP) and limiting batters to a.139 average in six starts. In his last five starts since Sept. 13, Darvish has gone 4-0 with a 0.88 ERA (3 ER/30.2 IP) and has struck out 35 batters against just two walks. During that stretch, he has limited the opposition to a.159/.189/.234 slashline, while posting a 0.62 WHIP. MATCHUP vs. ASTROS All-Time vs. HOU: LA leads series, 388-323 (217-144 at Dodger Stadium) All-Time Postseason: LA leads 4-3 (0-0 at Minute Maid Park) World Series Game 1: W, 3-1 W: Kershaw L: Keuchel S: Jansen World Series Game 2: L, 6-7 (11) W: Devenski L: McCarthy DEFENSE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS: The Dodgers rated as one of the Majors best defensive teams in 2017, leading the Majors in Baseball-Reference s Defensive Efficiency (.709), which measures the percentage of balls in play converted into outs. Also, according to FanGraphs, the Dodgers defense resulted in 48 defensive runs saved, the best mark in the NL and the second-best mark in Majors behind the Rays (51). Yasiel Puig tied for the lead among NL right fielders and for eighth in the Majors overall with 18 defensive runs saved, according to FanGraphs. Yesterday, Rawlings Sporting Goods Company, Inc., announced their finalists for the 2017 Rawlings Gold Glove Award. Yasiel Puig and Dodger shortstop Corey Seager were named finalists at their respected positions. LIGHTING UP THE BIG STAGE: Dodger super utility man Kiké Hernández has been on a tear as of late, going 1-for-2 and driving in the tying run with an RBI single in the 10 th inning on Wednesday night. Hernández has driven in eight runs this Postseason, which is the second most on the team behind Justin Turner and tied for the fifth most in the Majors this playoffs. His eight RBI is also tied for seventh all-time by a Dodger player in a single Postseason, while Turner currently holds the record with 14 RBI. Hernández has done most of the damage in his past four games, going 6-for-10 (.600) with three homers and eight RBI. He has hit safely in all four games. Hernández was originally drafted by the Houston Astros in the sixth round of the 2009 First-Year Player draft and made his Major League debut with the club in 2014. In 24 games with the Astros, he slashed.284/.348/.420 with four doubles, two triples, one homer and eight RBI. MR. UNANIMOUS: Cody Bellinger established a National League rookie home run record (third all-time) with 39 home runs, while also ranking among all-time Dodger rookies in RBI (97, 3 rd ) in 132 games. The Dodgers went 91-41 in games in which Bellinger appeared (89-38 in starts) after his April 25 call-up, and overall, he ranked among the NL leaders in homers (2 nd ) and slugging percentage (.581, 5 th ). On Tuesday, Bellinger was announced as The Sporting News Rookie of the Year and is hitting.256 (10-for-39) with two homers, two doubles and four RBI this Postseason. Bellinger is just the 34 th rookie in ML history to record two-plus homers in the Postseason, and only the third Dodger, joining Corey Seager (2) and Jim Gilliam (2). TOO DARN GOOD: The Dodger pitching staff this Postseason has been stellar, posting a 2.57 ERA (26 ER/91.0 IP) and holding hitters to a.183 average. The bullpen has been a key factor in this year s playoffs for L.A., as the pen has allowed just nine runs over 37.2 innings (2.15 ERA) while holding hitters to a.176 average (23-for- 131) in 10 games. Dodger relievers have struck out 34 batters against just four walks, posting a 0.72 WHIP. The Dodger bullpen had tossed 28.0 consecutive scoreless innings, going back to the seventh inning of NLDS Game 2 before giving up a run in the eighth inning on Wednesday night in Game 2 of the World Series. Against the Cubs in the NLCS, the pen fired 17.0 scoreless frames. Dodger starter turned reliever Kenta Maeda has been a big part of the bullpen this Postseason, as he has gone 2-0 and has yet to allow a run in 6.1 innings. Maeda allowed his first hit of the playoffs in his last outing on Wednesday and has held batters to a.055 average (1-for-20) this Postseason. UPCOMING SCHEDULE Date/Time/Opponent (PT Time) Probable Pitchers TV/Radio Game 4, Sat., Oct. 28, 5:20 p.m. at HOU LHP Alex Wood (0-1, 5.79) vs. RHP Charlie Morton (1-1, 6.23) TV: FOX Radio: ESPN, AM 570, KTNQ1020, AM 1540

CENTURY CITY: Los Angeles finished with the best record in the Majors for the first time since 1974 and the National League s best record for the first time since 2009. The Dodgers set a Los Angeles record for victories with 104 (104-58), tying for the second most in franchise history (also: 1942, 104-50) and finishing one shy of the club record of 105 (105-49), set in 1953. Los Angeles 104 wins were the most by a big league club since 2004, when the Cardinals went 105-57. ALL THAT POWER: The Dodgers established franchise records with 553 extra-base hits (previous high: 541 in 1953), 312 doubles (previous high: 307 in 2006) and 221 home runs (4 th, NL), which topped the club s previous high of 211 set in 2000. The club also set a Los Angeles record with a.437 slugging percentage, outpacing the previous high of.432 set in 2006. Los Angeles had six players Cody Bellinger, Yasmani Grandal, Yasiel Puig, Corey Seager, Chris Taylor and Justin Turner finish the season with 20 or more home runs, the most in franchise history and tying for the most ever by a NL club. HIGH 5: The Dodgers went 104-58 to win the NL West for the fifth straight year, marking their 16th overall division title, as the club reached the postseason in five consecutive seasons for the first time in franchise history. Los Angeles is playing October Baseball for the eighth time in 12 years and for the 31st time in franchise history. The Dodgers are the first team in NL West history to win the division in five consecutive seasons. The last MLB team to win five straight division titles was the Phillies, who won the NL East in five consecutive seasons from 2007-11. The Dodgers posted the seventh 100-win season in franchise history (third in Los Angeles history) and first since 1974 (102-60). The Dodgers won 90+ games for the fifth consecutive season, a feat that had only previously been accomplished once in franchise history, 1951-56 (6). 27 OUTS: Los Angeles led the National League and tied with the Angels for the Major League lead with 47 comeback victories this year, the most for the team since 2004 (53 comeback wins). The Dodgers registered 10 walk-off wins (T-1 st NL), their most since 2012. TOO GOOD: The Dodgers won 43 of 50 from June 7-Aug. 5, which was the best 50-game stretch in franchise history and the best in the Majors since the 1912 New York Giants, who went 43-7 from May 6-July 3. According to Elias, just four teams have ripped off 43 of 50 or better in baseball history: the 2017 Dodgers, the 1912 Giants, the 1906 Cubs and the 1884 St. Louis Maroons. The club continued at that pace through Aug. 19, posting a.852 winning percentage from June 7-Aug. 19 (52-9). The team posted a season-best 11-game winning streak from July 4-19, and had six streaks of six or more wins during the campaign. From June 17-Aug. 24, the Dodgers went 40-0 when scoring more than four runs. Only two other teams in MLB history posted longer such streaks: the 1954 Indians (42) and the 1906 Giants (41) Source: Stats, LLC. The Dodgers established a Major League record by winning 53 consecutive games in which they had a lead in any point from May 17-Aug. 1. The previous mark was 44, established by the 1906 Cubs. From June 7-Aug. 19, the Dodgers won 13 more games than any MLB club (Indians, 39-26), while leading NL clubs by 15 wins (Cardinals, 37-30). Entering play on June 7, the Dodgers were tied for second place, 2.0 games behind the Rockies, and passed Colorado for good on June 21. By Aug. 21, the Dodgers pushed their divisional lead to a franchiserecord 21.0 games. Following their win on Aug. 23, the Dodgers were a season high 55 games over.500 (91-36). HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE: The Dodgers posted their best home record in Los Angeles history at 57-24 (.704), which also led the Majors. The club s previous top mark had been 55-26 (.679) in 2015. Los Angeles 47-34 road record (.580) was the second-best mark in NL, behind only Washington s 50-31 mark (.617). The Dodgers led Major League Baseball in attendance for the fifth consecutive season in 2017, finishing with 3,765,856 (46,492 average) the third highest mark in franchise history and the 10th best in National League history. The Dodgers, who have reached three million in attendance in 21 of the last 22 years, have topped the National League in attendance 33 times since moving to Los Angeles in 1958, including leading the Majors 29 times in that span. SIX PACK: The Dodgers were represented by six All-Stars Cody Bellinger, Kenley Jansen, Clayton Kershaw, Corey Seager, Justin Turner and Alex Wood - at the Midsummer Classic, the most of any National League club and Los Angeles most All-Stars since 1991 (also six). At 21 years, 354 days old, Bellinger became the youngest position player to be honored as an All-Star in franchise history (previous: Corey Seager: 22 years, 69 days) and the third-youngest Dodger All-Star overall (at the time of their first selection), behind only Fernando Valenzuela (20 years, 281 days in 1981) and Ralph Branca (21 years, 183 days in 1947). Bellinger participated in the Home Run Derby and defeated Charlie Blackmon (15-14) before falling to eventual champion, Aaron Judge (13-12) in semis. Justin Turner earned his spot via the Final Vote, tallying an all-time record of 20.8 million votes during the balloting. LEADERS OF THE PACK: Dodger All-Star closer Kenley Jansen tied for the NL lead with 41 saves (w/ Greg Holland, T-2 nd MLB) and led the Majors with a 97.6 save percentage (41/42). Jansen also topped big league relievers with a 1.32 ERA and a 15.57 strikeout to walk ratio (109 SO/7 BB), while leading the NL with a 0.75 WHIP. Jansen s 109 Ks ranked second in the NL as he posted the fourth 100+ strikeout season of his career. All-Star Justin Turner finished third in the NL with a.322 batting average, behind only Charlie Blackmon (.331) and Daniel Murphy (.322), while posting a.415 on-base percentage (2 nd, NL). Turner posted a.380/.477/.704 slashline against lefties, ranking fourth in the Majors in average, first in OBP and fourth in slugging vs. southpaws. Turner was recognized as the Dodgers Roy Campanella Award winner and also as the club s nominee for the Roberto Clemente Award. ROLLER COASTER RIDE: The Dodgers dropped 11 consecutive games from Sept. 2-11, the longest losing streak in Los Angeles history and longest drought by any MLB team in 2017. The 11-game slide was part of a stretch that saw the Dodgers lose 16 of 17 games from Aug. 26-Sept. 11. With that slide, the Dodgers became the first team in MLB history to both win 16 of 17 games (June 7-25) and also have a stretch of losing 16 of 17 games in a single season (Source: Elias Sports Bureau). The Dodgers record by month: April (14-12), May (19-9), June (21-7), July (20-3), August (17-10), September/October (13-17). HILLTOPPERS: The Dodgers topped the National League in ERA (3.38), opponents batting average (.228, 1 st MLB), strikeouts (1,549), WHIP (1.15, 1 st MLB) and shutouts (16). Los Angeles 3.39 starters ERA topped the Majors, while the 3.38 ERA by the club s relievers led the NL (4 th, MLB). The club s 1,549 strikeouts established a franchise record. JUST WHAT THE DOCTOR ORDERED: Dave Roberts joined Tommy Lasorda (1977-78) and Joe Torre (2008-09) as the only Los Angeles managers to lead the Dodgers to the postseason in their first two years with the club. According to STATS, LLC, Roberts 195 wins through his first two full seasons as a Major League manager rank fifth all-time: Most Wins in First 2 Full Seasons as MLB Manager - All-Time 1.
