Oct.18 (UPI) — Atanta Braves outfielder Eddie Rosario hit a single off the glove of shortstop Corey Seager to drive in Dansby Swanson and give the Braves a dramatic walk-off win over the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 2 of the National League Championship Series, and a 2-0 series lead, on Sunday night. Rosario went 4 for 5 with a run scored, in addition to his RBI, in the 5-4 victory at Truist Park in Atlanta. Game 3 shifts to Los Angeles on Tuesday. „I’m really happy that the team and manager put their confidence in me to put me in the leadoff spot,“ Rosario told MLB Network. „I’m really happy I was able to come through.“ The Dodgers totaled just four hits and left 20 runners on base in Sunday’s loss. The Braves bullpen allowed one hit and two runs over the final six innings. Braves right fielder Joc Pederson also homered off Dodgers ace Max Scherzer. „I think when we are all pulling on the same string, special things happen,“ Pederson told reporters. „You can see we are doing that right now. „There is not [just] one person that has the pressure on their shoulders that they have to get the job done. It’s a new person every day. That’s what makes it special.“ Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts singled off Braves starter Ian Anderson in the first at-bat of Game 2. Seager hit Anderson’s next pitch, an 81-mph curveball, to right field for a 401-foot, two-run homer.
