The Braves welcomed the Dodgers to Atlanta for Game 3 of the NLDS, and the Boys In Blue were looking for a sweep and a ticket into the NLCS. Early on it looked like the Braves would cruise to the win after they got to Walker Buehler early, but the Dodgers fought back to tie the game. A close-fought affair to the end, a Freddie Freeman homer was the difference, and there will be a Game 4 as the Dodgers fell 6-5.

Walker Buehler got the start, and there was no reason to not feel completely confident in him, as in the four biggest outings of his career he gave up just two earned runs in 26.
