Fast for an Old Man

Nick Markakis of the Braves is on first in the top of the fifth inning after a one-out walk. Cristian Pache then lines a double down the leftfield line, and Markakis turns on the jets. He comes all the way around to score to give the Braves a 3-0 lead over the Dodgers. That is Pache’s second MLB hit. He played two games in the regular season, and appeared in all seven post-season games, although this is his first start in the playoffs.

Ronald Acuna, Jr. follows with a walk to chase Tony Gonsolin from the game.

Update: Pedro Baez comes in to pitch and Freddie Freeman drives in his third run of the game with a single through the shifted shortstop position. The Braves lead 4-0.

Update: A walk and a sacrifice fly bring in two more runs. Cody Bellinger made a fantastic catch on the bases load fly ball to prevent a bases clearing hit. The Braves lead 6-0 in the middle of the fifth inning.
