By STEPHEN HAWKINSARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Corey Seager’s sweet swing. Walker Buehler’s calm. Kenley Jansen’s resurgence.
The Los Angeles Dodgers got what they needed — again.
“We did what we had to do to force a Game 7,” Justin Turner said.
They sure did.
Seager homered again, Buehler pitched six scoreless innings and the Dodgers beat the Atlanta Braves 3-1 on Saturday to send the NL Championship Series to a winner-take-all finale.
Los Angeles avoided elimination for the second time in less than 24 hours, staying alive in its pursuit of a third pennant in four years. It hasn’t won a championship since 1988.
“I’m still sort of recovering from this one, but already thinking about Game 7,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “That’s what you live for.”
