By the numbers: Inside Dodgers' historic Game 3 thumping of Braves
The Los Angeles Dodgers got back into the NLCS Wednesday in a gigantic way thanks to a 15-3 thrashing of the Atlanta Braves in Game 3.
Though the result was never in doubt, it ended up being a historic night for both sides, and one that will be remembered. There were plenty of remarkable numbers to come out of the one-sided contest, so let's break them all down.
2: Times the Braves allowed at least 10 runs in a playoff inning in their history. They're the only franchise to have done that twice.
3: Dodgers home runs in the first inning, setting a single-inning playoff record.
5: Dodgers home runs in Game 3. That set a franchise single-game playoff record and tied the LCS single-game mark set by the Cubs in 1984.
6: Runs allowed by Braves pitchers in their first 64 innings of the playoffs through Tuesday.
7: Runs allowed by Braves starter Kyle Wright in the first inning of Game 3.
8: Earned runs allowed by Braves reliever Grant Dayton in two-plus innings of work, tying the postseason record. He's the 15th pitcher to do that.
11: Dodgers runs in the first inning, setting a playoff record.
12: Wright's Game Score, the lowest by a postseason starter since the Royals' Johnny Cueto in 2015.
15: Dodgers runs in Game 3, setting a franchise playoff record and tying the LCS single-game mark.
21: Braves outfielder Cristian Pache's age. Pache, who hit his first MLB home run in the third inning, became just the fourth Braves player to go deep in the playoffs before turning 22, and the seventh player ever to record his first big-league homer in the postseason.
68: Years since the Dodgers scored 11 runs in a first inning. The last time was a 15-run first during a regular-season game at Ebbets Field.
1.61: Atlanta's staff ERA this postseason entering Game 3. After the first inning, it spiked to 3.04.
94.50: Wright's ERA after allowing seven of the Dodgers' 11 first-inning runs.
1,000: Individual players who have homered in the MLB playoffs since 1903. Dodgers third baseman Edwin Rios became No. 1,000 with his first-inning home run.
