The Atlanta Braves are just a win away from taking the World Series. Adam Duvall clearly got the memo, as he got a quick four runs on the board to help their cause.
Check out Adam Duvall pummeling this one to right field, complete with nonchalant toss of the bat to give the Braves an early 4-0 lead. The man knew he got every inch of this one.
Grand Slam for Adam Duvall!

The Braves outfielder knew he got every inch of this one. Houston Astros pitcher Framber Valdez could only look back in horror.
But while the Astros fell down 4-0 in the very first frame, they weren't going to go down without a fight. Massive RBI hits from Alex Bregman and Carlos Correa contributed to get them back in the ball game by just the third inning.

Freddie Freeman broke the tie again just an inning later, hitting a solo blast for the Braves to retake the lead in the bottom of the third inning. The 460 feet it traveled was the longest moonshot hit this postseason.

The Braves are right on the cusp of winning their first World Series since 1995. The Astros are looking to prove their World Series win in 2017 was legitimate after their cheating scandal that rocked the MLB. Everything is on the line in this one.
