The Los Angeles Dodgers took the NLCS opener against the Milwaukee Brewers on Monday. Los Angeles held on for the 2-1 win on the strength of Blake Snell’s historic performance . The two-time Cy Young winner allowed just one hit and no walks while striking out 10 batters in eight scoreless innings. Will Smith caught Snell’s Game 1 gem and the Dodgers catcher gushed about the clutch outing after LA’s win.

“That was dominant. That’s as good as you’ll see someone throw a game. It was impressive. Just glad he’s on our side,” Smith said, per SportsNetLA.

“He was just making pitches. He wasn’t giving in. His changeup was really good tonight, his curveball [was putting] guys away. He just kinda had them really off balance, not knowing what’s coming.”
