The Dodgers love to hit the long ball in the first inning. A night after Joc Pederson went deep in the opening frame, Manny Machado hit a two-run homer off Braves starter Anibal Sanchez for a 2-0 lead in Game 2 of the National League Division Series on Friday.
The blast was Machado's second career postseason homer. The 26-year-old hit one with the Orioles in the 2012 ALDS.
BOSTON -- It did not take long for J.D. Martinez's spectacular season to continue into October.
