The Braves are coming home with the NLDS tied!
Atlanta dropped Game 1 to Tarik Skubal and the Dodgers, but Walt Weiss’s bold Game 2 pitching plan paid off. Ray Kerr opened with 2⅔ scoreless innings, Robert Suarez escaped the biggest jam of the night, Didier Fuentes recorded 11 consecutive outs and Raisel Iglesias closed out a dramatic 3-2 victory.
Michael Harris II led the offense with three hits, including a triple and a crucial RBI double. We recap every key moment from the two games in Los Angeles, break down Atlanta’s pitching decisions and discuss the biggest concerns after the Braves stranded 11 runners Sunday.
Finally, we preview Tuesday’s massive Game 3 showdown between Chris Sale and Yoshinobu Yamamoto, look ahead to Tyler Mahle’s expected Game 4 start and explain what the Braves must do to finish the Dodgers at Truist Park.

Dylan Dodd opened the afternoon with three scoreless innings, but Teoscar Hernández, Kyle Tucker and Max Muncy powered Los Angeles ahead.

The Braves are officially set for the NLDS! Atlanta announced its 26-man roster for the showdown against the two-time defending World Series champion Dodgers, welcoming Lane Thomas, JR Ritchie and AJ Smith-Shawver while leaving Dominic Smith, Luke Williams and DaShawn Keirsey Jr. off the roster.
We break down every decision, the roles Ritchie and Smith-Shawver could play in Atlanta’s depleted rotation and how Thomas strengthens the bench against Los Angeles’ left-handed pitching.
Then we preview Game 1: Dylan Dodd opens a bullpen game for Atlanta opposite two-time Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal. We examine the submitted Braves lineup, each hitter’s history against Skubal, the key matchups and what Atlanta must do to steal the opener at Dodger Stadium.

The Braves are moving on! Atlanta defeated the Phillies in three games to secure its first postseason series victory since the 2021 World Series run—and its first winner-take-all playoff victory since 1996.
We recap Austin Riley’s dramatic Game 1 homer, Tyler Mahle’s gutsy performance in Game 2 and Michael Harris II’s series-clinching three-run shot. We also break down Ray Kerr’s scoreless start, Chris Sale recording the final four outs on one day of rest and Robert Suarez’s encouraging appearance.
Then we cover every completed Wild Card series before previewing Atlanta’s NLDS showdown against the defending champion Dodgers. The Braves won five of six during the regular season, but injuries and heavy pitching usage have left Game 1 completely unsettled. Can Atlanta survive the opener and hand the ball to Sale and Mahle with the series still within reach?
