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 5 runs against Walker Buehler in the 2nd, the big blow being a grand slam by rookie Ronald Acuna. But the Dodgers tie it with 2 runs in the 3rd and 3 in the 5th and have the potential go-ahead run thrown out at home in the 6th. Freddie Freeman puts the Braves ahead to stay with a homer off Alex Wood in the bottom of the 6th and Arodys Vizcaino gets a nerve-wracking save when he strikes out three straight batters after putting two men on to start off the 9th.
