Luke Jackson discusses Cody Bellinger homer, bouncing back

The Atlanta Braves have shown in the NLCS that there is no quit in their game. Their resolve will be put to the test following a painful 6-5 loss in Game 3. Atlanta was five outs away from taking a 3-0 lead in the series, but Cody Bellinger hit a three-run home run in the eighth inning off of Luke Jackson that erased a 5-2 lead and tied the game. Mookie Betts doubled home Chris Taylor two batters later to give the Dodgers a lead they wouldn’t relinquish.

“Sad thing is I would do the same thing again,” Jackson said when asked about the 1-2 fastball to Bellinger.
