Dodgers' three first-inning runs stand up in win over Braves, force NLCS Game 7
Walker Buehler, the young ace the Dodgers once again needed when the stakes were highest, was in a messy predicament in the second inning of the Dodgers’ 3-1 win over the Atlanta Braves in Game 6 of the National League Championship Series on Saturday.
Before the duel, catcher Austin Barnes walked to Buehler to solidify a plan. It was time to mix the pattern up. Buehler peppered the zone with a 99-mph for strike one, but he then went with a 94-mph cutter that Pache fouled off. Then Pache fouled back a 98-mph fastball. Finally, Buehler let off the gas. He spun a slider. Pache hit a ground ball to shortstop Corey Seager, who made a backhanded stop for the third out.Buehler pounded his blue glove.
The energy spilled into the first inning. Batting second, Corey Seager clubbed a curveball for his third home run in four at-bats going back to Game 5. Justin Turner made it back-to-back home runs with a blast to center field. Cody Bellinger added an RBI single to complete the three-run outburst.
