MLB Twitter goes nuts when Dodgers come from behind to steal Game 3 from the Braves.

It looked like the Dodgers were slowly kissing their World Series hopes goodbye when they were down three runs leading into the eighth inning against the Atlanta Braves. But in true comeback fashion, it’s never over until it’s over and Cody Bellinger reminded us of that.

With two men on, he hit a home run to blast the Dodgers into a late-game tie. Then Mookie Betts stepped up with a runner on third hit the ball into right field and suddenly the Dodgers were in the lead.

Bellinger struggled all season, hitting far too close to the Mendoza line for comfort.

Dodgers fans were beside themselves with joy at the comeback victory

Braves manager Brian Snitker will get the brunt of the blame for this loss, as his decision to keep Luke Jackson in the game was questionable to say the least. Jackson’s recent struggles make Snitker’s call to pitch him whatsoever debatable at best.
