League Championship Series, Game #4 - Atlanta 1, Houston 0 (10 minutes)
United Federation of Baseball League Championship Series, Game #4 - Atlanta 1, Houston 0 (10 minutes). The Braves even the series at 2 games apiece as William Contreras homers off Justin Verlander in the bottom of the 8th to break up a scoreless tie. In the top of the 9th, after Raisel Iglesias strikes out Michael Brantley, Braves closer Kenley Jansen gets his 5th save of the post-season by getting pinch-hitter Trey Mancini to pop out and Christian Vazquez to ground out. Verlander (who was charged with the loss) pitched the entire game for Houston, striking out 9 in 8 innings and only allowing 1 batter to get past firstbase until Contreras' homer. Braves starter Charlie Morton (5.1 innings), Iglesias (3 innings), and Jansen combined to shutout Houston; Iglesias got credit for the victory. For the Braves, Dansby Swanson was 3-for-4. So far, all 4 games in the series have been low-scoring affairs. The pitching matchup in Game #5 will be Framber Valdez for Houston and Max Fried for the Braves.
