The Los Angeles Dodgers won’t go without a fight. Entering Game 3, they were trailing2-0 the Atlanta Bravesin the National League Championship Series, but things have started to change for them, at least at the beginning of the third game of the series. The Californians didn’t leave a doubt that they’re ready to fight until the end to make the MLB World Series.

Kyle Wright had the responsibility to get the Braves their third win of the series, but things didn’t start as he wanted, with Los Angeles scoring seven runs on Wright in two thirds of an inning. Brian Snitker decided it was time to get Wright out of the game but that didn’t change anything for Atlanta.

RelieverGrant Dayton was received by Max Muncy, who hit a Grand Slam to put the 11-0 on the scoreboard. Besides Muncy, Joc Pederson and Edwin Rios went deep, making history with the Dodgers and thehighest-scoring inning for a single team in MLB postseason history.

They need to get past the Braves, but it’ll take one game at a time to see if they can returnfrom the 2-0 deficit and beat Atlanta. Los Angeles have been favorites to win the World Series for quite some time now and the clock is ticking for them. This appeared to be the perfect season for them to win it all until Atlanta surprised them winning the first two games of the series.

After scoring 11 runs in a single inning, it doesn’t look like the Dodgers will lose the game, but we’ve seen crazy things in MLB history. Los Angeles recordedseven hits, three walks and one hit by pitch while 14 players came to the home plate.
