Via ESPN:
When Juan Uribe was unable to get a bunt down, it was the best thing that happened to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Uribe hit a go-ahead, two-run homer in the eighth inning after Clayton Kershaw started on short rest Monday night for the Dodgers in a 4-3 victory over the Atlanta Braves that sent Los Angeles into the National League Championship Series.
“It was a special night to get to do it here in L.A.,” said Kershaw, his hair slick from the spray of beer and champagne. “We haven’t won anything yet, but it definitely feels good to get to celebrate. You never want to pass those moments up.”
Carl Crawford homered his first two times up, and the Dodgers won the best-of-five playoff series 3-1 to reach their first NLCS since 2009. The NL West champions open the next round Friday against St. Louis or Pittsburgh.
The Cardinals host the wild-card Pirates in a winner-take-all Game 5 on Wednesday.
