The most valuable Braves player in a 3-1 NLCS loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers that forced a Game 7 was the pitcher who gave up all three runs.
Before the game, manager Brian Snitker conceded that hitters would have the advantage as both teams brought back their Game 1 starters for a second look at these powerful lineups, the top two teams in runs scored during the regular season.
Walker Buehler apparently didn’t get the memo. It took him only eight pitches to sit the first three Braves batters down in order.
