ATLANTA (AP) — Dansby Swanson picked a good time to drive in his first run of the World Series.
With Atlanta trailing 2-1 in the seventh inning in Saturday night's Game 4, Swanson lined a 95 mph fastball from Cristian Javier over the right field wall for his first homer of the postseason, tying the game.
Pinch-hitter Jorge Soler followed with a go-ahead homer, also against Javier. It was the first time the Braves have hit back-to-back World Series homers.
Thanks to the sudden power display, the Braves won 3-2 and lead the World Series, three games to one.
