Playing a recent NL MVP winner has rarely been questionable. Yet it felt questionable for much of the season as the loaded Los Angeles Dodgers kept penciling in Cody Bellinger as he floundered to a miserable .165/.240/.302 line.
Two seasons after earning that hardware with 47 homers, his extreme downturn perhaps cost the Dodgers the one or two wins that could have pushed them past the San Francisco Giants in an epic NL West race.
They didn’t win that race, but after surviving a wild-card game and earning a best-of-five duel with the Giants that (of course) required a tightly wound NLDS Game 5 to decide it, Bellinger found the ultimate way to make up for a lost year.
Facing San Francisco’s young, recently anointed closer Camilo Doval, Bellinger broke through with an RBI single in the ninth inning that sent the 106-win Dodgers to the NLCS, and the 107-win Giants into the clutches of an offseason that arrived too soon.
After a sterling eighth from Kenley Jansen, the Dodgers called on Max Scherzer to close the game as Los Angeles advanced with a 2-1 win in an instant classic with a stomach-churning ending. Scherzer's final pitch induced a check swing from Giants first baseman Wilmer Flores. He appears to hold up, but first-base umpire Gabe Morales wrung him up to end the game and the Giants' out-of-nowhere storybook season.
