Lost in the excitement of the Marcell Ozuna and Kolten Wong ninth-inning doubles – and the Carlos Martinez ninth-inning trouble – was Fowler chugging from first to third on Tommy Edman's ninth-inning single.
Fowler himself had drilled a line drive single to reach base in the 3-3 game.
In his career, Fowler had played against six different National League teams in the playoffs, but never against his hometown Braves. In his first playoff game in Atlanta, Fowler's impact Thursday was imperative. In the fifth, he took a smart at-bat. He worked the count and took a pitch as Harrison Bader stole third.
