Dodgers in the Ninth

Braves’ closer Will Smith comes in to pitch the top of the ninth inning with Atlanta leading the Dodgers 4-2. Los Angeles has Chris Taylor, Cody Bellinger, and AJ Pollock scheduled to hit.

Update: Taylor gets ahead 2-1. He swings and misses at a 2-2 pitch for the first out.

Update: Bellinger gets ahead 2-1. He swings and misses at a 3-2 pitch for the second out. Six of the last eight Dodgers batters have struck out.

Update: Pollock grounds a 1-0 pitch hard to shortstop. Dansby Swanson makes a nice grab, then throws to first for the out. The Braves win the NL Pennant!
