How would the top-ranked Los Angeles Dodgers respond to falling behind 0-2 in their NLCS against the Atlanta Braves? Oh, just by scoring the most runs ever in a single postseason inning.
The Dodgers put up 11 runs — yes, 11! — in the first inning of their eventual 15-3 Game 3 victory. It was a history-making (and soul-crushing, if you have “Braves” across your chest) display. The Dodgers hit three homers and had seven hits across the 32-minute half-inning. As Jeff Passan of ESPN notes, nobody has ever done that before:
The Dodgers scored the first two runs on a couple of doubles by Corey Seager and Will Smith.
