LOS ANGELES: For a guy who dislikes drama, Chris Taylor sure provided plenty of it.
Taylor hit three homers and drove in six runs, joining the likes of Reggie Jackson and Babe Ruth in October baseball lore, as the Los Angeles Dodgers broke loose at the plate to beat Atlanta 11-2 on Thursday (Friday in Manila), cutting the Braves' lead to 3-2 in the best-of-seven National League Championship Series.
