Updated Bracket

Pages cashed in on a bases loaded situation against Robert Suarez.

Teoscar Hernandez singled and then Josue De Paula and Kyle Tucker walked against Didier Fuentes to load the bases in the top of the seventh.

Pages connected on Suarez's 3-2 pitch to plate the game-winning runs.

The Braves and Dodgers traded runs in the first two innings.

Michael Harris II manufactured the Braves' run in the bottom of the first inning. He singled, stole second, advanced to third on a groundout and then scored on a Tyler Glasnow wild pitch.

The Dodgers answered right back in the top of the second, as Shohei Ohtani walked, stole second and then scored on a dropped fly ball by Braves shortstop Mauricio Dubon.

Tyler Glasnow and Tyler Mahle kept runs off the board after the early runs.

Glasnow struck out five and gave up a single hit for the Dodgers. He walked five batters, but he was able to get out of every jam after the first inning.

Mahle kept the Braves in the contest with 6.1 innings of three-hit ball with four strikeouts.

Atlanta just couldn't get the bats going against the Dodgers pitching staff. Ronald Acuna Jr., Matt Olson and Drake Baldwin went a combined 0-for-11 in the elimination game.

Max Muncy added a fourth Dodgers run in the top of the ninth with a no-doubt home run off Braves closer Raisel Iglesias.

The Dodgers will now await the winner of the Milwaukee-San Diego series in the NLCS.

Los Angeles is in the NLCS for the third year in a row and the seventh time since 2017.
