Dodgers waste chance to seize control of NLDS, fall to Braves in Game 2

But the Atlanta star was, after Dodgers left fielder Teoscar Hernández took a bad route to his line-drive triple. Then, to make matters worse, left-hander Kris Bubic lost control of a sweeper. It flew high and outside, off the end of catcher Will Smith 's glove and to the edge of the grass behind home plate.

The Dodgers had every advantage heading into Game 2 of the National League Division Series on Sunday night at Dodger Stadium. In a 3-2 loss to even the series, they gave away every edge they had.

"The advantage for us is we have an opportunity to not let their pitching staff come up for air," manager Dave Roberts said last week, when asked about how taxed the Braves pitching staff was coming out of their wild-card series. "... We have an opportunity to really expose them if we take the right at-bats and the right approach."
