Chris Taylor hit a two-run home run with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning as the Los Angeles Dodgers earned a dramatic 3-1 win over the St. Louis Cardinals in the National League wild-card game on Wednesday at Dodger Stadium.
Taylor, who ended the regular season in a 7-for-65 (.108) slump over his last 25 games, blasted a 2-1 slider from Cardinals right-hander Alex Reyes over the wall in left field to send the Dodgers into the NL Division Series
Justin Turner also homered for the Dodgers, who will travel to San Francisco to open the NLDS against the Giants on Friday. It will be the first-ever playoff series between the longtime rivals.
