The Braves are going to the World Series for the first time in 22 years after defeating the Dodgers 4–2 in Game 6 of the NLCS. With the win, Atlanta has ended its MLB record streak of 12 straight playoff appearances without a World Series berth dating back to 1999.
The Braves struck first in the opening frame with third baseman Austin Riley hitting a ground rule double that brought in second baseman Ozzie Albies.
Then, left fielder Eddie Rosario hit a three-run homer to right field to make it 4–1 in fourth inning.
The Dodgers answered in the seventh when left fielder AJ Pollock doubled to score Chris Taylor and make it a 4–2 ball game, and looked to be in position to add on.
