The Los Angeles Dodgers secured a 4-1 victory over the Atlanta Braves, advancing to the National League Championship Series (NLCS) for the third consecutive year. Andy Pages recorded a two-RBI go-ahead single in the seventh inning, marking the Dodgers' first hit with runners on base in the series after starting 0-14 in that situation. Prior to this game, Pages had been hitless in the first two games of the series, but he improved his performance with two hits in Game 3 and another two hits in Game 4, raising his series batting average to .286.
The Dodgers' first run in the game came after Shohei Ohtani scored due to an error by Mauricio Dubon, whose glove mishandled the ball. Following Pages' hit, Max Muncy added an insurance run with a solo home run over the right field fence. Starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow contributed significantly, pitching 4 2/3 innings, allowing only one hit, and striking out five batters.
In the sixth inning, the Braves posed a threat when Ozzie Albies hit a leadoff double off of Dodgers reliever Alex Vesia. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts then brought in Edgardo Henriquez, who retired the next three batters he faced and recorded two additional outs in the seventh inning. Edwin Diaz closed the game in the ninth, needing only eight pitches to earn his second save of the series, which included one strikeout and a final out from Austin Riley, who flew out to right field.
