Last night’s NLCS Game 1 was made for those of you who read only the first chapter and last chapter of books. Only twice last night did Atlanta have a baserunner in scoring position, in the first inning and the ninth inning. Both times, he stole second base to get there. Both times, he scored to give the Braves their only two leads of the game in their 3–2 walk-off win over the defending champion Dodgers at Truist Park.
Eddie Rosario, the Atlanta leadoff man, singled off Corey Knebel, the right-handed reliever who worked as the opener for the Dodgers in consecutive games.
