The Dodgers beat the Braves 11-2 in Game 5 on Thursday and presently trail 3-2 in awesome of-seven National League Championship Series. Chris Taylor hit three homers and drove in six runs while AJ Pollock added two grand slams and drove in four. Presently, the protecting World Series champions head back to Atlanta with ace Max Scherzer fixed up to begin Game 6 with Walker Buehler ready for a potential Game 7. Can the Dodgers return from down 3-1 to the Braves for the second NLCS in succession?
Game 5 peruses
Moment response to the Dodgers' Match 5 dominate over the Braves
Stephen J. Nesbitt: This series is returning to Atlanta, and the Braves will have two additional attempts to drop the window ornament on the Dodgers' season. Game 5 wasn't ruinous, however it was profoundly upsetting. With Atlanta pro Max Fried marked to a two-run lead before he took the hill and the Dodgers currently two relievers into their warm up area day, the Braves seemed ready to do what they neglected to do a year prior — close out the Dodgers in the NLCS. Yet, it self-destructed quick. In a range of three hitters in the subsequent inning, AJ Pollock and Chris Taylor homered, taking a lead Los Angeles would not give up. Taylor homered two additional occasions, scratching his name into postseason record books. Pollock pounded a subsequent homer, in the eighth inning, just in case and pointless pad. The Braves did no harm after Freddie Freeman's first-inning impact. They will see Max Scherzer in Game 6, then, at that point, Walker Buehler, if vital, in Game 7. The Braves displayed in Game 4 that they could bob back from a gut punch. In any case, this felt like a greater blow.
Steve Berman: "I never look cool busy," Chris Taylor said subsequent to hitting three homers in Game 5. More than 50,000 fans at Dodger Stadium would differ in light of the fact that there's nothing cooler in baseball than warding off disposal. Indeed, other than returning from a 3-1 shortfall to win a series. The Dodgers' warm up area strategy looked unstable in the main inning when Joe Kelly vacillated, then, at that point, left because of a biceps injury. Yet, the mind-boggling profundity that the Dodgers get kept them the game as well as permitted them to defeat the Braves in a game that sets the Dodgers up really well with their two best starters all set in Games 6 and 7.
Cody Stavenhagen: This feels like a resonating success for the Dodgers and quickly raises reverberations of last year's 3-1 series rebound. The Dodgers have won seven continuous disposal games, and presently they need to win two additional to move beyond the Braves. Concerning this evening, the Dodgers' bats were blasting, Chris Taylor joined a notable club and LA stays alive in the NLCS. They have Max Scherzer and Walker Buehler arranged for the following two games, so their ponies are prepared to run. In the mean time, the Braves should pull together as they head home to Atlanta after a languid last eight innings in Los Angeles. The Braves establishment knows all around well what it seems like to be so close yet so distant. This weekend they will in any case get the opportunity to win their first NL flag starting around 1999.
