Now for some more things to learn about Game 3.
It was a record-breaking game all around
The Dodgers broke a lot of MLB records in the first innings of 11 runs. We reviewed 11 items here to learn about the 11-run innings. But we will recapture all the records set in the aggression of the Daggers Jersey.

More specifically, an 11-run innings is a franchise record for the Dodgers. He has scored the most runs in an innings for the club so far, but in addition, his total of 15 runs in the win is the most he has scored in a postseason game.
Dodgers have been around since 1884, to the amazement of the people. Before that, the record was 13 – the Dodgers achieved twice in history – once in Game 3 of the 2013 NLDS … the Braves and once back in 1956 (as the Brooklyn Dodgers) when they scored 13 against. The Yankees in Game 2 of the World Series.
Five home runs from De Se Jers are their highest in the game in post-season history. The longest run ever in a playoff game by any MLB team is six years old, courtesy of Cubs during Game 3 of the 2015 NLDS. Five Homers came: Searle, Jock Pederson, Edwin Rios, Muncie and Cody Bellinger.
The Dodgers scored 15 in the first three innings. Prior to Wednesday, no other MLB team in history had scored so many runs or so many homers in the first three innings of a postseason game.
On the unfortunate side of breaking the record, Brave starter Kyle Wright became A big character to pour the first starter in the history of MLB To allow seven accrued runs and pitch less than an innings in a postseason game. One season after joining the Rockies’ Franklin Morales (2007 World Series, Game 1 vs. Red Sox) after Wright recorded just two outs, the Postseason allowed less than an innings less than an innings working in the game.
Goodbye, brave winning streak
Entering Wednesday’s Game 3, the Braves had a 7-0 record in this postseason. They are NLDS. The NL went red in the wild card round before completing the Marlins sweep in. Atlanta continued it with two big wins to kick the Dodgers against their NLCS. Apparently, with the loss on Wednesday, they now look down on their full postseason record 7-1.
The brave pitching staff was impressed so far in their postseason run. Entering Wednesday, the Brave Pitchers allowed just 13 runs in their first seven playoff games – and seven of those games came in the final three innings of 2 wins. Wright’s first seven runs are more than the Atlanta staff allowed this postseason in his first 64 innings. Atlanta recorded four shots out in their first five postseason games.
On the flip side, the Braves outscored their opponents by 24 runs through these first seven games. They scored 37 runs in seven games with 11 home runs.

One of the Braves ’top prospects, Christian Patchen, got his second straight start in the center field for Game 3 on Wednesday. He made the most of it with a solo home run in the third inning. He was the only brave runner until they added two more in the ninth inning.
Peshwa was not only the first home run of his MLB career, but after doing so at the NLCS, he also featured the first post of his career .Shun Home Run. He is the seventh player in MLB history to hit the first home innings of his career in the postseason and is only the third-ranked player. He joins: Bla Blanton (2008), Melvin Mora (1999), Don Gillette (1975), Mickey Lolich (1968), Frank Demri (1932) and Rosie Ryan (1924).
Very nice feat for the young.
Along with the playoff moonshot, Pesh also joins Ronald Aquina Jr., Ru Andrew Jones and Brian McCann as the only Brave with a postseason home run before watching 22 years.
