For most of the night, the Atlanta offense was kept off balance by Houston's Zack Greinke and a trio of relievers, with just one hit through six innings. Then came Dansby Swanson's at bat in the seventh.
Swanson and pinch-hitter Jorge Soler hit back-to-back solo homers off of Cristian Javier as the Braves won Game 4, 3-2, to take a 3-1 lead in the World Series.
The Braves were forced to use an opener thanks to a debilitated starting rotation. Left-hander Dylan Lee, who had just four major league appearances to his name coming into Saturday's game, started on the mound for Atlanta and recorded only one out.
