Blake Snell had the Postseason performance of a lifetime on Monday, dominating the Brewers for eight innings and leading the Los Angeles Dodgers to victory in Game 1 of the National League Championship Series. Snell allowed just one baserunner — a hit to Caleb Durbin, whom he promptly picked off — in facing the minimum over eight scoreless innings. Roki Sasaki came in for the ninth to preserve LA's 2-0 lead, but he didn't have it tonight. Sasaki got two outs and allowed one run, leaving with runners on the corners and Blake Treinen entering to bail him out. Treinen was up to the task, walking William Contreras to load the bases before striking out Brice Turang to end the game.

Oh yeah, and there was the weirdest "grounded into a double play" you'll ever see, simply because when you think of a GIDP, you think of a ground ball, because it's right there in the name. But Max Muncy hit a 404-foot fly ball that never touched the ground, yet somehow it turned into an 8-6-2-5 GIDP to kill a rally. Since the Dodgers won, we can look back on how dumb and unlucky it was and just kind of laugh.
