Austin walks 2011

The mascot ran around the field with a gigantic Braves flag. It's the kind of jubilation you expect from a winning hit by the home team in a playoff game. I'm pretty sure; he's been hot.

He's going to do the job. No doubt. However, if not for Riley, the mood in Cobb County could have been very different, because it was a game the Braves very much needed to win. Atlanta started young ace Max Fried , who entered the game as baseball's hottest pitcher. The Braves had home-field advantage over the win Dodgers thanks to the latter's status as a wild-card team. And the Dodgers, who needed five grueling games to knock off the win San Francisco Giants in the NLDS, went with a bullpen game in reaction to a heavily worked pitching staff.

For most of Saturday's game, the gambit worked. Fried wasn't as sharp as he has been in recent weeks, but he held the Dodgers to a pair of runs over six innings. Yet the Braves managed just a pair of runs over the parade of Dodgers relievers -- eight of them by the end of the night. If Atlanta had not pulled out the victory and entered Game 2 down in the series -- with home-field advantage flipped to Los Angeles and the Dodgers sending future Hall of Famer Max Scherzer to the mound Sunday -- some mild panic might have set in at Truist Park.

They're all going to be hard to come by. Instead of panic, there was bedlam -- and for that, you have Riley, the Braves' newest MVP candidate, to thank. Favorite Map Nearby Apartments.
