Dodgers Clinch NLCS Berth as Ramírez Keeps Guardians Alive
The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Atlanta Braves 4-1 on Wednesday to clinch their National League Division Series 3-1, advancing to the NLCS as they pursue a third consecutive World Series title. In the American League, José Ramírez led the Cleveland Guardians past the Chicago White Sox to force a decisive Game 4 in their division series.
LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Dodgers clinched a spot in the National League Championship Series on Wednesday night, defeating the Atlanta Braves 4-1 at Truist Park to win their NL Division Series 3-1. Rookie Andy Pages delivered the decisive blow, a bases-loaded two-run single in the seventh inning that broke a 1-1 tie and put Los Angeles ahead for good.
The Dodgers took back-to-back games in Atlanta after splitting the first two at home, advancing to the NLCS for the fourth time in six years. They are now three wins away from becoming the first National League team to win three consecutive World Series titles. Meanwhile, in the American League, the Cleveland Guardians kept their season alive with a win over the Chicago White Sox, powered by José Ramírez, forcing a Game 4 in their best-of-five division series.
The Dodgers will await the winner of the other NLDS, while the Guardians face elimination in Game 4. Los Angeles’s pursuit of a three-peat adds historical weight to their postseason run, and their balanced lineup and deep pitching staff make them favorites to return to the Fall Classic. Cleveland, meanwhile, hopes Ramírez can continue to carry the offense and extend their series to a decisive Game 5.
