It was a tough start to the postseason for the Atlanta Braves who dropped Game 1 of the NLDS Thursday night falling 6-0 to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Mike Foltynewicz struggled early while Atlanta’s offense was shut down by Hyun-Jin Ryu. They will be back at it Friday night with Anibal Sanchez getting the start against Clayton Kershaw.
Here is what the Braves’ had to say about Game 1.
