Aggressive use of Scherzer, Urías backfires; LA in NLCS hole

ATLANTA (AP) — Max Scherzer fatigued early, Julio Urías faltered late, and when Kenley Jansen couldn't strand an inherited runner in the bottom of the ninth inning, Los Angeles fell into a 2-0 hole in the NL Championship Series.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts has made it clear he'll use any pitcher at any time. He just hasn't been able to find the right times in Atlanta.

Eddie Rosario delivered the Braves' second straight walk-off hit, lining a ball against Jansen that caromed off shortstop Corey Seager's glove and gave Dansby Swanson an easy path home for the game-ending run in Atlanta's 5-4 victory Sunday night.
