Dodgers Dump Braves 4-1 to Reach Third Straight NLCS, Set Up Brewers Rematch

The Los Angeles Dodgers are headed back to the National League Championship Series. Andy Pages delivered a two-out, two-run single in the seventh inning of a pitchers' duel to lift the Dodgers to a 4-1 win over the Atlanta Braves in Game 4 of the NLDS on Wednesday night, closing out the series three games to one. Pages, hitless in his first two games of the series, came through with the bases loaded and two outs to give Los Angeles a 3-1 lead — the club's first hit with runners in scoring position in the series after an 0-for-14 start. Max Muncy added a solo homer in the ninth for insurance. Tyler Mahle was the tough-luck loser for Atlanta, charged with two runs over six and a third innings. The Dodgers, chasing a third consecutive World Series title, will now face the Milwaukee Brewers in an NLCS rematch beginning Sunday. Milwaukee punched its ticket earlier Wednesday with a 3-1 Game 4 win over San Diego, setting up a heavyweight October clash between the National League's two best teams.
