1995 NLCS Game 2

With the Atlanta Braves having dropped Game 1 of the NLCS, they turned to John Smoltz to keep them from returning home down two games to none.

And Smoltz was up to the task. Tossing a complete game shutout, allowing a single hit, a two-out single to Barry Larkin in the 3rd inning.

For the Reds, John Smiley was nearly as good, allowing 6 hits and one run in 7 2/3 innings.

The Braves scored their lone run in the 7th.  A leadoff walk to David Justice was following by a Mike Deveraux single.  With Justice on third, a Javy Lopez fly ball to left scored the run that turned out to be the difference.

With the series tied 1 game a piece, we head to Atlanta Fulton-County Stadium as Greg Maddux awaits the Reds.
