Now for some takeaways from a memorable Game 6. No National League team has repeated as World Series champions since the 1975-76 Reds. The elimination of the 2020 World Series winners means that we still haven't had a repeat champion in MLB since the 1999-2000 Yankees. Matzek also worked a perfect eighth to set up Will Smith, who pitched a clean ninth for the pennant-clinching save.Īs for the Dodgers, a season in which they tied the franchise record for wins - 106 - ended in disappointing fashion. However, Tyler Matzek came on with runners on second and third and no outs and was able to strike out the side. The Dodgers mounted a serious threat in the seventh, as they pushed across a second run against the struggling Luke Jackson. He was lifted for a pinch-hitter in the bottom of the fourth. On the pitching side, the Braves' Ian Anderson overcame some early command issues and wound up allowing one run on three hits in four innings of work. The home run was Rosario's 14th hit of the 2021 NLCS, which ties the all-time record for most hits in a postseason series. In the home half of the fourth, though, the scorching Eddie Rosario hit a two-out, three-run homer off Los Angeles starter Walker Buehler to give Atlanta a 4-1 lead and change the tenor of Game 6. The Dodgers then tied it in the top of the fourth when the rejuvenated Cody Bellinger notched a two-out, opposite-field single against the infield shift to plate Trea Turner. The Braves seized an early lead with a two-out RBI double by Austin Riley to follow up Ozzie Albies' two-out double of his own in the first inning. The Braves will face the Houston Astros in the 2021 Fall Classic. As a result, the Braves have won the best-of-seven series by a count of four games to two and advanced to the World Series for the first time since 1999.

The Atlanta Braves closed out the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday night with a 4-2 win in Game 6 of the NLCS thanks to another round of heroics from outfielder Eddie Rosario.
