GAME 1:
Atlanta 5, Los Angeles 4 (11 innings)
--WOW! We win a thriller in extras thanks to a walk-off single by Aaron Hicks in the bottom of the 11th. Clayton Kershaw gives up 3 solo home runs, but limits the damage by only giving up 3 earned runs total in 7 innings pitched. He set the franchise record by striking out 14 guys from his former team. Red-hot Joey Bart went 3 for 5, while Acuna and Freeman both homered. Ozzie Albies is now 0 for his last 15. Zach Britton blew the save in the top of the ninth, but Chad Green saved the day by throwing two scoreless innings, picking up the win.

GAME 2:
Los Angeles 11, Atlanta 7
--Another crazy game in "The A". Unfortunately we were on the losing end of this one. Erasmo Ramirez struggled and exited early, he was followed by Gohara who threw 4 shutout innings in relief. A combination of Jose Ramirez and A.J. Minter gave up 5 runs in the top of the ninth, and that was enough to give L.A. the victory. Cody Bellinger homered and drove in 5.Freeman stayed red-hot and went 2-3 with a walk, a homer, and 2 RBI's. Bogaerts had a pair of RBI's as well. Joey Bart collected two hits and a ribbie. Tomorrow will be Samardzija vs. Ross Stripling (14-6, 3.81) in Los Angeles.
