Whenever the Dodgers‘ bats decided to hibernate with runners in scoring position during the regular season, they seemed to do so with a vengeance. Such was the case in Game 2 of the NLDS on Sunday afternoon. The Boys in Blue had control through three innings behind a Corey Seager solo home run and an RBI single by Josh Reddick, but were lulled to sleep shortly thereafter, eventually falling 5-2 to the Nationals and seeing the series become tied at one game apiece.
The turning point in the game was when Nats’ catcher Jose Lobaton drilled a three-run home run into the left field stands in the bottom of the third frame.
