Dansby Swanson and Jorge Soler’s back-to-back home runs in the seventh inning led the Braves to a 3-2 victory over the Astros on Saturday night, moving the club to within one win of its first World Series title in a quarter-century.
With the Astros ahead 2-1 in the bottom of the seventh, Dansby Swanson, who was yet to leave his signature mark on a game this postseason, lit Truist Park on fire with a solo shot just over the right field wall to tie it at 2-2.
Jorge Soler, who was on the bench in favor of Joc Pederson tonight, then came to the plate and crushed a ball just over the left field wall to give the Braves a 3-2 lead.
