Sunday night’s performance of the Ray Kerr Variety Hour felt like a turning point in this hour. Not only did the Braves survive the Chris Sale bullpen fiasco, they returned home with the series tied and two of their best starting pitchers pitched on full rest. The Dodgers hit the ropes before in back-to-back runs, but those ropes felt especially threatening against Sale and the resurgent Braves.
Don’t worry, Dodgers fans. Los Angeles escaped this bracket with a 3-1 lead, and now sit one game out of a third straight NLCS appearance. He resumed regularly scheduled programming.
He had not always wanted to go this way. When the two teams lined up at Truist Park, the omens only made the Dodgers darker. Shohei Ohtani, who is a walk-on, talks about the results House here the game is in vain. Example position in the 5th row.
