Division Series Goes the Distance, Los Angeles Prevails
Major League Baseball pundits who figured the Division Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago Cubs would go the distance were right on the mark.

The two teams battled back and forth in a spirited series, with Los Angeles coming out on top thanks to a 6-5 win in the deciding game at Dodger Stadium, to wrap things up 3-2.

"You get to the last game and anything can happen, so we're overjoyed to come out on top," said Dodgers catcher Keibert Ruiz, who was named series MVP.

For the series, Ruiz had 10 hits for a .556 average. He had 1 home runs, 3 RBI and scored 4 runs.

The Los Angeles Dodgers will play against the Cincinnati Reds in the next round. Cincinnati won their series against the Atlanta Braves 3 games to 2. The League Championship Series schedule will be announced after the Division Series finishes.
