Oct. 12—ATLANTA — Could a string of pearls lead to a string of Atlanta Braves postseason victories?
If Monday afternoon at Truist Park is any indication, it just might.
For the second time in two National League Division Series games against the Milwaukee Brewers, Braves pinch-hitter Joc Pederson came to the plate with a string of pearls around his neck and promptly knocked a pitch from Brewers reliever Adrian Houser out of the park.
On Monday there were two aboard in the bottom of the fifth when his three-run blast accounted for all the Atlanta runs in this 3-0 victory.
