The Atlanta Braves have earned a World Series date with the Houston Astros. The Braves eliminated the defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 6 of the NLCS.
The Braves won the best-of-seven series four games to two, exorcising the demons of last year's NLCS -- when Atlanta squandered 2-0 and 3-1 leads against the Dodgers -- and advancing to face the AL champion Astros.
Rosario got into an extended duel with Walker Buehler, who stepped up to start on three days' rest after ace Max Scherzer wasn't able to go because of a tired arm. Rosario knew it was gone, dancing down the line after delivering a 361-foot finishing shot to a highly paid team that won 106 games during the regular season -- 18 more than the NL East-winning Braves -- but came up short in its bid to become baseball's first repeat champion since the 2000 New York Yankees won their third straight title.
