The Dodgers set a postseason record by scoring 11 runs in a single inning against the Braves. It all started with a close call on a Mookie Betts infield single. Initially ruled out, Betts was called safe after replay. That lit a fire under the Dodgers dugout. Corey Seager followed with a single, and Betts sprinted home after a defensive mishap in left. Braves pitcher Kyle Wright imploded from there, throwing multiple balls in the dirt and getting squeezed by the ump on close calls. Will Smith knocked in another run. Cody Bellinger drew a walk. Joc Pederson smacked a three-run homer into the bullpen. Edwin Ríos followed with a solo shot. Wright completely unraveled, walking the next batter before getting pulled.
Things didn’t get better after the pitching change. Betts walked again, Seager singled, and Justin Turner added a controversial moment by seemingly kicking a pitch that got ruled a hit-by-pitch and wild pitch. Replay couldn’t overturn that part due to MLB review rules. With the bases loaded, Max Muncie crushed a grand slam to center, pushing the total to 11 runs. The inning featured three home runs, another postseason record. Braves pitchers couldn’t find the zone or catch a break, and the Dodgers kept jumping on first-pitch strikes. The team didn’t let up, and every miscue got punished. The inning took the game from competitive to a blowout in less than 30 minutes.
