FREDDIE FREEMAN 💥 Tie game! https://t.co/8uTuWairnc Via @MLB on X

What happened: Freeman drove an 86.4-mph slider 375 feet to right field in the bottom of the fourth to even the score. The ball left the bat at 103.2 mph with a 29-degree launch angle for his first homer of this postseason.

Why it matters: It was his second home run since the All-Star break, answering the power dip that clouded his NLDS outlook. A tie in the middle innings keeps Game 2 level and preserves late-inning options for both sides.

By the numbers: Exit velocity 103.2 mph, launch angle 29 degrees, distance 375 ft to RF. Pitch: 86.4-mph slider from Grant Holmes. Postseason HR total: 1; second HR since All-Star break.

What to watch: Game 2 plays on from a tied score with middle-relief usage next in focus.
