Dodgers win 2-1 at Atlanta… reversal of drama
[USA투데이=연합뉴스]
(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Kyung-yun Kim = The Los Angeles Dodgers, who were pushed to the edge of the cliff, were revived by Cody Bellinger’s three-run home run in the 8th inning.
The Dodgers won 6-5 in Game 3 of the National League Championship Series (NLCS, 4 out of 7) held at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, USA on the 20th (Korean time).
The Dodgers, who allowed just-time hits in the first and second games, succeeded in swearing and recorded 1 win and 2 losses against their opponents.
The Dodgers took the lead in the first inning. After lead hitter Mookie Betts walked away from starter Charlie Morton, Corey Seager hit a two-run homer in mid-month to make it 2-0.
On the mound, Walker Buehler pitched in. Buehler tied the opponent’s line tightly until the third inning and did not concede.
The flow of the game changed in the 4th inning.
Buehler allowed a left-handed hit to Atlanta lead Freddie Freeman, leading to a one-on-one situation.
He later induced an outfield ball against follow-up hitter Austin Riley, which Dodgers center fielder Gavin Lux missed.
Perhaps because the ball was sunken, Lux made a ridiculous mistake, and Riley’s bat was recorded as a double.
Buehler calmly faced the follow-up hitter Pederson.
He threw both balls into the strike zone and made a ball count of two strikes.
And he exquisitely put the cut fastball in the third pitch into the corner of the strike zone.
However, the referee decided it was a ball.
On the local broadcast screen and on MLB.com’s ‘Game Day’, it was confirmed that Buehler’s ball went into the corner of the strike zone.
Buehler, who suffered a defensive error and the referee’s vague ball decision, began to shake.
Buehler was eventually struck by a right-handed blow by Pederson.
Buehler continued to shake. Adam Duvall allowed a timely hit from the left to tie it 2-2, and gave up a straight walk to Travis Dano, putting him at risk of running out of base.
Afterwards, he induced Danceby Swanson to hit the infield assault on the shortstop side, but the Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager couldn’t handle the ball properly, so it was a just-in-time hit.
The Dodgers also allowed Eddie Rosario to walk a straight push.
The Dodgers opened the bullpen, but conceded five runs in the inning.
Phil Bicford, the fourth pitcher from one company, first base and third base, was hit by an opposing team Duvall just in the left center.
After a 2-5 lead, the Dodgers wrote an eighth drama.
The Dodgers created one-on-one opportunities at first and second base against closing pitcher Luke Jackson, with Will Smith’s right-handed hit and AJ Pollock’s heavy hit.
And Bellinger hit a dramatic three-point tie with a home run.

The Dodgers didn’t stop attacking.
Chris Taylor stole second base with a stolen base after hitting a left-handed hit.
And when pinch hitter Matt Beatty grounded to second base, he succeeded in advancing to third, creating an opportunity for two and three.
Betts hit the final. He attacked Jesse Chavez’s first pitch and hit a double in the right middle, bringing full momentum.
The Dodgers closed the game with closing pitcher Kenri Janssen in the ninth inning.
Bellinger, who recorded one hit, one home run, three RBIs, and one walk in three at-bats, became the hero of the match.
Bellinger, who won the National League Most Valuable Player (MVP) award in 2019, was extremely poor with a batting average of 0.165 in 95 games this season.
He also hit a thrilling final in the ninth inning of Game 5 of the National League Division Series against the San Francisco Giants.
Betts flew by with 2 hits, 2 walks, 1 run and 1 RBI in 3 at-bats.
Game 4 of the NLCS will be held at the same location on the 21st.
