This Day in Braves History: Atlanta pitches third shutout through four postseason games

Braves Franchise History
2013: The Dodgers are the first team to clinch a spot in the League Championship Series as they eliminate the Braves with a 5-4 win in Game 4 of the NLDS. Trailing 3-2 in the bottom of the eighth, the Dodgers reversed the tide on Juan Uribe’s two-run homer off David Carpenter. Carl Crawford hits a pair of solo homers for Los Angeles’s other two runs.

2018: The Braves avoid elimination in the other NLDS with a 6-5 win over the Dodgers in the first postseason game to be played at SunTrust Park. Shut out in the first two games, the Braves put up five runs against Walker Buehler in the second, the big blow being a grand slam by rookie Ronald Acuna. But the Dodgers tied it with two runs in the third and three in the fifth and had the potential go-ahead run thrown out at home in the sixth. Freddie Freeman puts the Braves ahead to stay with a homer off Alex Wood in the bottom of the sixth and Arodys Vizcaino gets a nerve-wracking save when he strikes out three straight batters after putting two men on to start off the ninth.
