Lucky lumber: Rosario's hot bat leads Braves to Series

ATLANTA (AP) — Eddie Rosario talked the other day about his lucky lumber, which started to heat up with a four-hit night in mid-September.

“I’ve been using that bat that I hit for the cycle with and it has not disappointed,” he said after his second four-hit game of the NL Championship Series. “Man, this bat has not let me down yet.”

Well, he topped that on Saturday night, becoming MVP of the NL Championship Series.

As the crowd chanted his name, Rosario hoisted the award.

“Truly incredible,” he said through a translator.
