Chris Taylor made some wild history in Game 5 of the NLCS and the Dodgers needed every bit of it

Chris Taylor is forever in baseball history now.

The Dodgers had their backs against the wall going into Game 5 of the NLCS against the Braves and they responded perfectly.

Well, I should say, Chris Taylor responded perfectly. This dude truly had himself a night of nights. We witnessed literally one of the greatest postseason performances ever on Thursday night.

Taylor hit three home runs against the Dodgers in Game 5. Not one. Not two. Three. That just doesn’t happen very often, y’all.

He made plenty of history on his way to leading the Dodgers to their win. He’s just the 12th player in MLB history to hit three homers in a postseason game.

He’s also the only player in MLB history to hit three homers in an elimination game.

The only player. Ever.

This gets even wilder when you realize how Taylor was playing leading up to this explosion.

That’s certainly worth the curtain call he got after heading into the dugout the final time.

Very, very well deserved. Fans were stoked for him.
