Atlanta pulled off a risky strategy in the second contest of their National League Division Series by benching ace pitcher Chris Sale and relying entirely on a committee of six relievers. The gamble paid off with a narrow 3-2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on the road, evening the playoff matchup at one game apiece before returning home.
Reliever Ray Kerr set the tone with nearly three scoreless innings, while Didier Fuentes locked down the middle frames by retiring eleven straight batters before yielding a late home run. Michael Harris II provided a key offensive spark to help reclaim the lead, and closer Raisel Iglesias secured the final out under pressure.
