NLCS
Dodgers v. Phillies
Game 5 Recap:

Phillies 10, Dodgers 4
The Phillies hit the ground running – with a three run homer by Jayson Werth in the first – and never looked back, hammering the Dodgers on their way to a second straight World Series. Cole Hamels may have not been at the top of his game, but Philadelphia’s offense picked him up as Werth added a second homer in the seventh and Pedro Feliz and Shane Victorino knocked out their own long balls in the win.
