Before we turn the page to the World Series, let’s take a look at the five biggest moments for the Atlanta Braves from their NLCS victory over the Dodgers. 

While the Atlanta Braves are likely waking up this Sunday morning and beginning their preparation for the Houston Astros, as fans, we can take another day to relive the great moments from the NLCS.

Let’s take a look at the five biggest moments for the Braves from the NLCS.

1. Walk-off Number 1

Locked in a 2-2 tied since the fourth inning, the Braves had an opportunity to walk it off in the bottom of the ninth against one of the best relievers in baseball in Blake Treinen.

After a Freddie Freeman strikeout to begin the inning, Ozzie Albies got a bloop single that somehow found grass. He then turned it into a double by stealing second base, setting up this moment for Austin Riley.

2. Walk-off Number 2

Game 2 may have been the best and biggest game of the series. After falling behind 2-0 in the first inning, the Braves tied it up in the fourth.

They fell behind again by 2 runs in the 7th, but Dave Roberts decided to bring in Julio Urias and that didn’t work out as the Braves tied it up.

That set up Eddie Rosario for the walk-off with Dansby Swanson at second after a fielder’s choice.
