Max Scherzer looking to pull Dodgers even with Braves in NLCS

Field Level Media

The Atlanta Braves have a win in their back pocket but Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts believes his team has some offensive momentum as the clubs prepare to meet again in Atlanta in Game 2 of the National League Championship Series on Sunday night.

The Dodgers are scheduled to send ace right-hander Max Scherzer to the mound to duel Braves righty Ian Anderson.

In a game some considered a must-win for the Braves because they had their best pitcher, Max Fried, going against a Dodgers opener, Atlanta used a walk-off single by Austin Riley in the ninth inning for a 3-2 win in Game 1 of the best-of-seven on Saturday.
