What happened: Atlanta Braves scored five runs over the final 25 innings of the series against Los Angeles. The lineup went without a home run in that span as the series closed in four games.

Why it matters: The .043 average with runners in scoring position ranks as the second-lowest in a postseason series. The drought erased early momentum from a 421-foot Game 1 homer and ended the October run.

By the numbers: 1-for-23 with RISP (.043); 5 runs over final 25 innings; 0 home runs over final 25 innings.

What to watch: Atlanta heads into the offseason facing lineup evaluation before 2027.
