Graveman put the finishing touches on the impressive comeback victory that was only possible because of the bullpen's overall effort. By the time Kendall Graveman entered the game in the eighth, the American League representative had a comfortable four-run lead. It was a brilliant showing from the middle relievers following a start from Valdez that could have very well ended Houston's season. He retired Eddie Rosario with a runner in scoring position at one point and eventually gave way to Ryne Stanek, who pitched a scoreless seventh. Yimi Garcia cleaned up Valdez's mess in the third, Jose Urquidy threw a scoreless fourth, and Phil Maton worked the fifth and sixth innings without giving up a run.
The only chance for the Astros was a strong showing from the bullpen after Valdez's start, and the collective was up to the task. The Braves put the game away with four runs in the ninth off Tony Gonsolin, including Rosario’s fourth hit and second home run of the game.Sarah Langs Freeman now has 6 career go-ahead home runs in the postseason, most in Braves franchise historyBroke a tie with Chipper Jones
… We’ve got to find a way to stress him, get guys on base, and push them across. … Fried isn’t going to feel sorry for us. “We’ve got to change that, and the only way we can do it is tomorrow. “It just hasn’t been as consistent as I don’t think anyone expected. “Every time I write the lineup out I feel very good about our club and how we matchup … and what we’re going to do that particular night,” Roberts said. It was the fifth time in 10 postseason games that the Dodgers have produced two runs or fewer. Justin Turner bounced into a double play after that hit and pulled up while running to first base, obviously injured. But the Dodgers had just one hit over the final four innings – a pinch-hit single by Albert Pujols in the seventh inning. Pollock came off the bench and delivered a two-out, two-run single.

Meanwhile, the Dodgers didn’t have a single hit to call their own and Lux was robbed of a possible home run by center fielder Duvall in the second inning. But I think that if you’re talking about where Max’s stuff, I think, was certainly compromised in his outing in Atlanta … I just didn’t see the stuff compromised (in Game 4). There might have been some misses, which certainly there were. “I just thought the stuff was really good. I don’t think anyone knows,” Roberts said of the decision to pitch Scherzer and Urias out of the bullpen between starts. But he would not blame the extra work and unsettled schedule of the previous 12 days. Urias gave up another run in the fifth, throwing 92 pitches in five very difficult innings. They hit the ball when I made those pitches,” Urias said through an interpreter.

Those 10 batters hit two of the home runs plus Pederson’s RBI single, a Travis d’Arnaud single, Rosario’s triple and a Freeman walk.
Ten times in the 17 batters Urias faced in the first three innings he got two strikes on the batter. Urias seemed to glare out into center field after the Braves’ fourth run scored. Gavin Lux ran in but let it fall in front of him for an RBI single rather than risk a diving attempt. Rosario continued to be the hottest hitter in the postseason not named Kiké Hernandez, lining a ball into the right field corner later in the third inning and stretching it to a triple when Mookie Betts mishandled it.Īfter an intentional walk, Joc Pederson lobbed a flare into shallow center field. But Eddie Rosario and Adam Duvall hit back-to-back homers to start the second inning and Freddie Freeman added a third solo homer to start the third inning. Urias didn’t give up a home run in 35 innings over his final six starts in the regular season and just one in his first 11 innings of the postseason. “We have a very resilient team, a very tough team and it’s not going to get much tougher than facing (Braves Game 5 starter) Max Fried in an elimination game. That’s not how you draw it up,” Roberts said. “You never want to have your backs against the wall. And they will try to do it while quilting together yet another “bullpen game.”
