Dodgers Ambush Braves With Record-Breaking 11 Runs in First Inning

The Braves' starting pitching had been perhaps the most unstoppable force for the entire 2020 playoffs. Then, the first inning of Game 3 happened.

The Dodgers erupted for 11 runs in the top of the first on Wednesday, setting a new postseason record for most runs in a single inning. The damage included three walks, two singles, two doubles, three home runs and one hit by pitch. The outburst included the first three-homer inning by one team in playoff history.

Five of the seven hits had exit velocities greater than 105 mph, per Baseball Savant.
