Braves even up NLDS with 3-2 win over Dodgers
The series now shifts back to Atlanta with Game 3 on Tuesday and Game 4 on Wednesday. First pitch for both games will be at 6 p.m.
In Game 2 of the National League Division Series, the Atlanta Braves managed to even up the series with a dramatic 3-2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers had previously held off a late rally from the Braves in Game 1.
Michael Harris II came close to a cycle, one run short of the remarkable achievement, while Mauricio Dubón contributed a RBI. A run for the Braves also came from a wild pitch, showcasing the resilience of the team. Walt Weiss's decision to include another bullpen game proved fruitful, as Ray Kerr pitched 2.2 scoreless innings. Young Didier Fuentes, just 21, pitched impressively, retiring 11 batters and nearing a perfect game until a crucial strike. Raisel Iglesias sealed the win as the closer.
The Dodgers scored their lone run on a Freddie Freeman home run. Both teams are now set to return to Atlanta, with Game 3 scheduled for Tuesday and Game 4 on Wednesday. First pitches for both games will be at 6 p.m. Channel 2’s Luke Hetrick will provide postgame analysis from the Braves clubhouse on Channel 2 Action News This Morning, beginning at 4:00 a.m.
