ATLANTA (AP) — The Atlanta Braves hold a 2-0 lead in the NL Championship Series following their second walk-off win in as many nights.
Eddie Rosario singled home the winning run in the ninth inning to send the Braves past the Los Angeles Dodgers, 5-4. Rosario had four hits for the Braves, who trailed 2-0 and 4-2 before maintaining home-field advantage.
Austin Riley doubled home the tying run in the eighth, one night after supplying a walk-off single. Joc Pederson belted a two-run homer for Atlanta, which also owned a 2-0 lead against the Dodgers in last year’s NLCS before losing in seven games.
The Los Angeles runs came on Corey Seager’s two-run homer in the first inning and Chris Taylor’s two-run double in the seventh. Mookie Betts scored on both hits.
Game 3 is Tuesday in Los Angeles.
