Dodgers one step closer to three-peat with 4-1 win over Braves in NLDS
On Wednesday, the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Atlanta Braves 4-1 at Truist Park, clinching the National League Division Series 3-1 and advancing to the NL Championship Series for the third consecutive season.
With the series tied 1-1, Atlanta Manager Walt Weis relied on bullpen depth throughout the matchup while the Dodgers' rotation worked to contain the Braves' offense in the pivotal Game 4.
Dodgers center fielder Andy Pages drove in two runs with a seventh-inning single, while the team's bullpen combined to allow only two hits over the final five and 1/3 innings.
Max Muncy added a ninth-inning home run extending his franchise record to 19 postseason homers, as the Dodgers prepare to face either the Milwaukee Brewers or San Diego Padres in the NL Championship Series.
Broadcaster Brandon Gaudin called the game for FOX, filling in for lead announcer Joe Davis, who remains "under the weather," leaving his availability for the NLCS uncertain.
