The Dodgers will begin the National League Championship Series Sunday against the New York Mets at Dodger Stadium after rallying for a victory over the San Diego Padres in a National League Division Series.

The Padres and Dodgers resume their National League Divisional Series matchup Tuesday at Petco Park after San Diego evened the series Sunday with a blowout win. Why it matters: The Padres can advance to the NL Championship Series and end the Dodgers season with wins Tuesday and Wednesday.

In a fast-paced pitchers' duel, the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the San Diego Padres Friday night to advance to the National League Championship. The boys in blue now have home field advantage when they take on the New York Mets this Sunday in a best of seven series. The winner goes on to the World Series.

The Padres hit the road to face the Dodgers in a Game 5 matchup that sends the winner to the next round where home-field advantage awaits.

Just two days after their series comeback win over the Padres, the Dodgers dominate in a 9-0 victory over the San Diego Padres in Game 1 of the NLCS.
