The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Atlanta Braves 4-1, securing their place in the National League Championship Series for the third consecutive year. Andy Pages played a crucial role by hitting a two-RBI single in the seventh inning, marking the team's first hit with runners in scoring position during the series.

The Braves attempted a comeback in the sixth inning, but reliever Edgardo Henriquez successfully retired the next three batters. Edwin Diaz closed the game with a quick eight-pitch inning, securing his second save of the series.
