Clouds gathered when Snell left the game, though. The Dodgers will go for the quick knockout of the Reds on Wednesday with Yoshinobu Yamamoto scheduled to start Game 2 of the best-of-three series. Whatever puncher’s chance the Reds had depended on getting a dominant start from Hunter Greene in Game 1. The five-homer barrage of the Reds tied the franchise record for home runs in a postseason game set in Game 5 of the 2020 National League Championship Series against the Atlanta Braves and matched in Game 5 of the 2021 NLCS also against the Braves. Even when that lead grew to eight runs before the eighth inning, the Dodgers’ bullpen made it uncomfortable.
