Eddie Rosario’s Walk-Off RBI Sends Braves Past Dodgers (5-4); Lead 2-0 in NLCS

For the second time in as many games, the Braves beat the Dodgers on a walk-off. Sunday’s Game 2 finish was courtesy of Eddie Rosario’s punch-through RBI single that plated Dansby Swanson (5-4). Rosario’s magic moment came with two outs in the bottom of the 9th. He wasn’t just the Game 2 hero, but the only batter in the game to record more than one hit on the night (4-for-5). The Dodgers held leads at 2-0 and 4-2 before the Braves tied it in the 8th and won it in the 9th. The series now swings to L.A. for Games 3, 4 and 5.
