Trailing the Series 3-2,it was now of never for the Los Angeles Dodgers when they entered the field to take on the Atlanta Braves in Game 6 of the National League Championship Series.
Walker Beuhler started the game for the LA Dodgers whose numbers have been absolutely good this postseason despite having a No Decision in his previous game. For the Braves Max Fried started this game.
The Man in From for Dodgers, Corey Seager blasted a solo home run in the bottom of the 1st inning to give Dodgers an early lead. This was his 6th home run of the post season and his 11th RBI. Justin Turner then joined the Home Run party as the Dodgers got back to back Home Runs to make it 2-0.
Then Cody Bellinger got a base hit as he drove in an RBI single to bring Max Muncy home and make it 3-0 for LA still in the bottom of the 1st inning. After this good start they didn't score any more runs in their remaining innings.
With three straight singles in the top of the 2nd, the Braves loaded the bases with nobody out and put pressure on Beuhler. He though showed his calm and held his nerves as he escaped with bases loaded with back to back strikeouts and a grounded out as the Braves missed a golden opportunity to cash in some runs.
The Braves got their only run of the game through an RBI single by Marcell Ozuna as this game turned out to be a contest between the pitchers of both sides. Now Game 7 will decide who will join the Tampa Bay Rays in the World Series.
