Dodgers heroes, zeros from Game 1 win: Teoscar Hernández has another October moment

Teoscar Hernandez powered the Los Angeles Dodgers to a five to three victory over the Atlanta Braves in the opening game of their National League Division Series with a crucial two run home run in the fourth inning. Manager Dave Roberts praised the veteran slugger for bouncing back from a tough hamstring recovery and a late season slump to deliver his ninth playoff home run across the last three years.

Later in the contest, relief pitcher Tanner Scott struggled in the ninth frame by allowing a home run to Ozzie Albies that halved the lead before being lifted by Roberts with two outs remaining. Despite that shaky postseason debut, the manager expressed that his confidence in the left hander remains steady moving forward.
