• NLDS Game 2 GameThread: The Dodgers threw Clayton Kershaw at the Braves last night in Atlanta and Los Angeles won the first game of the five-game NLDS. Tonight it's Zack Greinke in Game 2 against Mike Minor for the home team in Turner Field. Losing the first game of a postseason series in nothing new for the Braves:

Braves have lost 7 straight postseason Game 1s (8 if you choose to include last year's Wild Card game)
