道奇3比1再胜勇士拿下赛点 埃尔南德斯一记两分炮打懵王牌塞尔
亚特兰大勇士的赛季被推到了悬崖边。当地时间10月6日（周二）晚，国家联盟分区系列赛第三场在亚特兰大的Truist Park球场打响，客场作战的洛杉矶道奇凭借老将基凯·埃尔南德斯（Kiké Hernández）的一记两分全垒打，以3比1击败勇士，在五战三胜的系列赛中取得2比1的领先，距离连续第二年闯进国联冠军系列赛只差一场胜利。
比赛的转折点出现在第四局。面对勇士王牌左投克里斯·塞尔（Chris Sale），埃尔南德斯在一垒有人、一人出局的情况下抓住了第二球，将球轰出外野墙外，道奇2比0领先并就此掌控了比赛。埃尔南德斯赛后表示，当时他只想确保不打出双杀、把打线轮到首位打者穆奇·贝茨手中，没想到第一球的变速球轨迹给了他提示，第二球他的眼睛“认出了球路”，挥出了决定性的一棒。这位以“十月先生”著称的多面手今年季后赛首次先发就建功，道奇主帅戴夫·罗伯茨赛后直言，球队“需要一点他的‘基凯魔力’”——他总是为大场面做好准备，也热爱这样的时刻。
塞尔此役主投五局，被打出7支安打失3分。赛后他坦言，整场投球中只有对埃尔南德斯的那一球让他想收回。勇士打线则全场受制，当家球星小罗纳德·阿库尼亚（Ronald Acuña Jr.）延续了整个季后赛的低迷——本场之前他在季后赛21个打数仅有3支安打，得点圈有人时8次打击全部无功而返，未能为球队带来任何一分打点。对于志在主场守住生机的勇士而言，核心打者的持续哑火是他们回到主场后亟待解决的问题。
系列赛第四场将于周三继续在Truist Park举行。背水一战的勇士若再败，本赛季就将就此终结；道奇则希望一鼓作气锁定国联冠军系列赛席位，与另一组分区系列赛的胜者会师。

Hernandez's Two-Run Homer Lifts Dodgers Past Braves 3-1, One Win From NLCS
ATLANTA — Kiké Hernández made the most of his first start of these playoffs, launching a two-run homer off Atlanta ace Chris Sale in the fourth inning to lift the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 3-1 win over the Braves in Game 3 of the National League Division Series on Tuesday night at Truist Park. The victory gave the defending champions a 2-1 lead in the best-of-five series and moved them within one win of another trip to the NL Championship Series.
Hernández, batting ninth and playing third base, came up with a runner on first and one out in the fourth. After taking a changeup for a ball, he recognized the next pitch and drove it out, opening the scoring with a lead Los Angeles never relinquished. Sale, who otherwise battled through five innings while allowing three runs on seven hits, said afterward there was really only one pitch all night he wished he could take back. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, well aware of Hernández's October track record, said the club needed "a little bit of that Kiké dust," noting the veteran is always prepared and loves moments like this.
Atlanta's frustration centered on star outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr., whose miserable postseason continued. Acuña entered the night with just three hits in 21 playoff at-bats and no home runs or RBIs, and he again stranded runners in scoring position as the Braves' offense sputtered at home.
The Braves now face elimination in Game 4 on Wednesday at Truist Park, while the Dodgers can close out the series and advance to face the winner of the other NLDS.
