In National League Division Series Game 2 at Dodger Stadium, the Atlanta Braves' bullpen game against the Los Angeles Dodgers resulted in a 3-2 loss, keeping the series tied at one game each. The Dodgers managed only two runs against six pitchers from the Braves, who did not have a successful outing from starting pitcher Blake Snell.
Uncharacteristically, Snell gave up five walks and allowed 43 balls in the game, reflecting a season-high. The Braves' bullpen, featuring left-hander Kris Bubic, was more successful, notably allowing just one extra-base hit in 12 appearances. The Dodgers, meanwhile, struggled to score, putting eight runners on base in the first five innings but only scoring once.
Freddie Freeman, who had gone 47 games without a home run before Game 2, drove in the Dodgers' lone run with a homer in the fourth inning, snapping his hitting slump. Despite Freddie Freeman's performance, the Dodgers fell short in Game 2, with Max Muncy's home run providing a lifeline to the Braves.
