This Day in Braves History: Ronald Acuña becomes youngest player with a grand slam in the postseason

2013: The Dodgers are the first team to clinch a spot in the League Championship Series as they eliminate the Braves with a 5-4 win in Game 4 of the NLDS. Trailing 3-2 in the bottom of the eighth, the Dodgers reverse the tide on Juan Uribe’s two-run homer off David Carpenter. Carl Crawford hits a pair of solo homers for Los Angeles’s other two runs.

2018: The Braves avoid elimination in the other NLDS with a 6-5 win over the Dodgers in the first postseason game to be played at SunTrust Park. Shut out in the first two games, the Braves put up five runs against Walker Buehler in the second, the big blow being a grand slam by rookie Ronald Acuna.
