The Dodgers hit Yu Darvish with two home runs to lead the Padres and clinch the NLDS

The Los Angeles Dodgers' postseason dreams are still alive Friday after they successfully defeated the San Diego Padres in the National League Division Series.

Despite trailing 2-1 after three games, the Boys in Blue stormed back to win the final two games of the series. They avoided elimination each time and secured their spot in the National League Championship Series, where they will face the New York Mets for the chance to advance to the World Series.

The Padres' Yu Darvish pitched an impressive game, pitching seven three-hit innings, but unfortunately for San Diego, two of those hits came in the form of home runs off the bats of Kiké Hernández and Teoscar Hernández, all runs the Dodgers needed to win.

In his second postseason start for Los Angeles, Japanese star Yoshinobu Yamamoto pitched five shutout innings before throwing the game into a lights-out bullpen.

The NLCS begins Sunday in Los Angeles as the Dodgers secure home-field advantage as their playoff run continues with the best record in the National League.
