Dodgers were the favorites to clinch the NLCS, with their records, and stellar run in 2021. However, the Braves shocked everyone, as they dominated the Dodgers in NLCS. With their commanding performance from the start, the Braves defeated Dodgers in four out of six games. Astonishingly, Braves had clinched the first two games, building the pressure on the Dodgers.
The Braves played nearly flawless baseball when they had to, knocking out Dodgers in the game four by 4-2. Apart from the collective effort of the team, it was the heroics of the well-deserved NLCS MVP, Eddie Rosario, that helped them reach this feat after years.
The only home run smashed in Truist Park on Saturday came from Eddie’s bat. In the fourth innings, when Dodgers tried to make a comeback, Rosario blasted a three-run home to seal the deal.
