How it happened

Atlanta scored first on an Ozzie Albies groundout in the first. The Dodgers tied it in the second when Max Muncy reached on a fielding error by shortstop Mauricio Dubón and Shohei Ohtani scored.

It stayed 1-1 until the seventh. Los Angeles loaded the bases against starter Tyler Mahle and reliever Didier Fuentes, and Andy Pages worked a full count against Robert Suarez before a two-run single to left-center. MLB.com noted it was the Dodgers' only hit with runners in scoring position in the series. Muncy added a solo homer to right in the ninth.

Tyler Glasnow allowed one run on one hit in 4 2/3 innings with five strikeouts. Henriquez, Tanner Scott, and Díaz covered the last 3 2/3 innings without a run. Mahle went 6 1/3 innings for Atlanta and gave up two runs, one earned.

What's next

NLCS Game 1 is Sunday, Oct. 11 (Fox/FS1), per the ESPN and MLB schedules. The opponent is the Padres-Brewers winner; Milwaukee led 2-1 before Game 4 in San Diego on Wednesday night.

What we could not confirm

Series hitting stats: The note that Pages' hit was the Dodgers' only one in 20 plate appearances with runners in scoring position, and the five straight road postseason wins, appeared only in MLB.com's recap, with no second source.
Muncy's postseason total: MLB.com called the homer his 19th career postseason home run; the MLB game feed lists it as his third this postseason. The career figure was not confirmed elsewhere.
Padres-Brewers Game 4: Not finished when we checked, so the NLCS opponent was not yet decided.
