Cody Bellinger, Dodgers Blow Out Braves in NLCS Game 3 with Historic Inning

The Los Angeles Dodgers notched their first victory of the National League Championship Series on Wednesday and avoided the brink of elimination for at least 24 hours.

After falling into a 2-0 series deficit, the Dodgers took Game 3 against the Atlanta Braves in historic fashion, 15-3, at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas.

It took just two pitches from Atlanta starter Kyle Wright for Los Angeles to grab the lead. Leadoff batter Mookie Betts beat out a grounder down the third-base line before Corey Seager doubled him home on a line drive to left-center field.

Wright lasted just 28 pitches before manager Brian Snitker pulled him with the Braves down 6-0 and the first inning still not over.
