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, securing the National League Division Series and advancing to the NL Championship Series for the third consecutive year.
Stellar pitching from the Dodgers proved decisive; starter Tyler Glasnow held Atlanta to one hit through four and 2/3 innings, while the bullpen limited the Braves to two hits over the final 5 1/3 innings.
Andy Pages broke the tie with a clutch two-RBI single in the seventh inning, and Max Muncy added an insurance run with a solo home run in the ninth to seal the victory.
The Dodgers, pursuing a World Series three-peat, will await the winner of the Milwaukee Brewers and San Diego Padres series in the National League Championship Series.
Los Angeles reaches its seventh National League Championship Series appearance since 2017, extending its postseason dominance as Atlanta returns home following the series elimination.
