Braves Survive Dodgers Late Rally

Freddie Freeman launched a two-run homer and drove in three runs, and Ozzie Albies went 3-for-4 with a solo homer and a pair of RBI on Tuesday, as the Braves held on for a dramatic 8-7 victory over the Dodgers in Game 2 of the NLCS at Globe Life Field in Arlington. Corey Seager clobbered a three-run homer and Max Muncy walloped a two-run blast to spark a late comeback, but it simply wasn’t enough to overcome a massive early deficit. Trailing by a pair of runs, and facing lights-out stopper Mark Melancon, the Dodgers were down to their final strike before Will Smith reached on a fielding error by Albies and Cody Bellinger followed with an RBI triple to right field.
