- Los Angeles had trailed 3-1 in best-of-seven series
- Cody Bellinger’s home run seals 4-3 victory in Game 7
Cody Bellinger hit a tiebreaking solo homer in the seventh inning and the Los Angeles Dodgers advanced to the World Series for the third time in four years by topping the Atlanta Braves 4-3 in Game 7 of the NL Championship Series on Sunday night.
Bellinger connected an inning after Kiké Hernandez became the first pinch hitter with a game-tying or go-ahead homer in a winner-take-all-game. His homer tied it at 3-3 and, like Bellinger’s, came on the eighth pitch of the at-bat.
CODY. BELLINGER. CRUSHED.
