Tanner Scott Struggles in Ninth Inning of Dodgers' Game 1 Victory

Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Tanner Scott endured a shaky ninth inning in NLDS Game 1 against the Atlanta Braves, turning a four-run lead into a tense finish. Scott surrendered a leadoff single to Ronald Acuña Jr. followed immediately by an Ozzie Albies two-run home run on consecutive pitches. After retiring two batters, he was pulled for Evan Phillips with the lead cut to 5-3. Manager Dave Roberts stated he won't waver on his ninth-inning usage despite Scott's blunders.
