Braves battle to Game Two win over Dodgers Oct 5th 2013, 03:13 Share this Email Print Reprints Fri Oct 4, 2013 10:26pm EDT (Reuters) - The Atlanta Braves scored two runs in the bottom of the seventh inning to beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-3 on Friday and square their National League Division Series at one game each. After losing the first game of the best-of-five series at home, the Braves were under enormous pressure to get back on level terms before heading to California for Game Three. And they came through, just, thanks to a two-run, two-out single by Jason Heyward with the bases loaded that gave the Braves a vital 4-1 cushion. The Dodgers responded when Hanley Ramirez muscled a two-run home run off David Carpenter in the top of the eighth to make it a one-run game, but they could not add to their score. Craig Kimbrel closed out for the Braves, though the home fans had to endure some nervous moments. Dodgers pinch runner Dee Gordon almost stole second base in the final inning but was judged out in a very close call for the second out, before Carl Crawford struck out to end the game. Braves starting pitcher Mike Minor was credited with the win after throwing 6 1/3 innings, giving up one run on eight hits, while Dodgers starter Zack Greinke went six innings for two runs and four hits. Game Three will be played on Sunday. (Reporting by Andrew Both; Editing by Peter Rutherford) Link this Share this Digg this Email Reprints
