One game away from the Atlanta Braves securing their first National League pennant since 1999, the Club handed the ball to rookie right-hander Ian Anderson to get the job done. The 23-year-old from Rexford, New York, scattered three hits over four innings of one-run ball and struck out four Los Angeles Dodgers batters. This effort set the tone for the Braves 4-2, Game 6 NLCS victory and a World Series berth.
