After falling behind early, Carl Crawford hit a three-run homer, Juan Uribe added a two-run shot and Los Angeles routed the Atlanta Braves 13-6 on Sunday night for a 2-1 lead in the best-of-five NL Division Series.
Hanley Ramirez and Yasiel Puig each had three hits and scored three times on a huge night at the plate for the Dodgers, who matched a franchise record for runs in a postseason game.
”It’s 25 guys out there that we come here every day and we put in hard work on the field,” Ramirez said. ”Everything I do, I do for my team and for the city. When I see a big smile from my teammates and my fans, that makes me happy.”
Los Angeles can advance to the NL Championship Series with a victory in Game 4 on Monday night. Ricky Nolasco pitches for the Dodgers against veteran Freddy Garcia.
