Blake Snell Struggles With Command in Short NLDS Game 2 Start

Los Angeles Dodgers starter Blake Snell labored through NLDS Game 2 against Atlanta, throwing a season-high five walks over 3.2 innings in a 3-2 loss. Snell needed 90 pitches to record 11 outs, allowing one run on three hits and five strikeouts while fighting his delivery all game. The two-time Cy Young winner, limited to nine regular-season starts due to shoulder and elbow issues, avoided major damage but left the ballpark postgame due to a family matter as the series tied at 1-1.
