The Los Angeles Dodgers have advanced to the National League Championship Series for the third consecutive season, eliminating the Atlanta Braves with a 4–1 win in Game 4 of the NL Division Series.

The Braves scored first after a wild pitch by Dodgers starter Tyler Glasnow brought Michael Harris II home in the opening inning. Los Angeles levelled in the second when Shohei Ohtani scored on a throwing error by shortstop Mauricio Dubón.

Andy Pages put the Dodgers ahead in the seventh with a bases-loaded single that drove in two runs, breaking a 1–1 tie. Max Muncy added a home run in the ninth.

The Dodgers will face the winner of the Brewers–Padres series in the NL Championship Series. The victory keeps alive their bid for a third consecutive World Series title.
