Game #1 of the NLCS gets under way with a matchup of Cy Young Candidates - Kershaw v. Haren.
LAD jumps out to early lead in the bottom of the 1st. David Ross' 2-out single cashes in
Kelly Johnson.
Top of the 4 - Braves respond. Weeks singles - steals second and then scores on a Gardner
single. Gardner promptly steals 2nd and then scores on Hamilton's single. Typical Braveball
is to be agressive on the basepaths, especially faced with the task of score runs against
the vaunted LAD. It is especially important to get those early runs before Mike Scioscia
starts calling on his lethal bullpen.
Joey Bats responds with a solo HR in the bottom of the 5th.
Bottom of the 6th - Man Ram walks, advances to second on a ground out and is driven in by a
Haren single for the Game Winning RBI.
LAD relievers - Downs, Benoit and Rivera shut down the Braves the rest of the way. LAD wins
game 1 (ATL 2 - LAD 3)
Braves Leaders: Hamilton and Gardner get 3 hits apiece
LAD Leaders: Haren pitches 6 innings, 8 H, 2 ER, and does it with the bat 2-3 and GW RBI.
