To the surprise of just about everyone, the Braves just straight-up outplayed the Dodgers in the first two games of the NLCS to take a 2-0 lead. In particular, their starting pitching has been wildly impressive against probably the best lineup in the game. That, uh, did not continue on Wednesday. In fact, Atlanta starter Kyle Wright didn’t make it out of the first.
There’s really not all that much to say about this game if we’re being honest, because it was essentially over before it began. In all, the Dodgers hit three home runs in the inning (including a Max Muncy grand slam), sent 14 batters to the plate, knocked Wright out with only two outs on the board, and scored 11 runs before starter Julio Urías even had to throw a pitch.
