ATLANTA (AP) — Held hitless into the sixth inning, Atlanta rallied for an improbable 5-4 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on two-run homers by Travis d’Arnaud and Austin Riley and a game-ending double play for the ages to even the NL Division Series at one win apiece Monday night.

D’Arnaud, who started at catcher over slumping Sean Murphy, gave the Braves hope with a shot in the seventh to cut their deficit to one.

It was Atlanta’s first extra-base hit of the series.

Riley provided the second, driving a 3-2 pitch from Jeff Hoffman (0-1) into the Phillies bullpen with two outs in the eighth to put the Braves ahead for the first time in the best-of-five series. Ronald Acuna Jr. scored after being plunked on the left arm by Hoffman’s first pitch coming in from the bullpen.

It ended in equally stunning fashion. With Bryce Harper aboard, Nick Castellanos drove one to the fence in deep right-center, only to be robbed on a great leaping catch by Michael Harris II.

Harris’ throw back to the infield skidded past second baseman Ozzie Albies, but Riley alertly backed up the play and zipped a throw to first that beat a backtracking Harper and completed the double play.

Just like that, the series is tied up with Game 3 today.

DIAMONDBACKS 4, DODGERS 2

At Los Angeles, Lourdes Gurriel Jr. and the surprising Arizona Diamondbacks made quick work of another Dodgers starter, beating Los Angeles behind Zac Gallen for a 2-0 lead in their NL Division Series.

The young Diamondbacks, who earned the final National League wild card, improved to 4-0 in these playoffs — all on the road against division winners.

They’ll try for a stunning sweep of the 100-win Dodgers when the best-of-five series shifts to Phoenix for Game 3 today.

Gallen allowed two runs over 5 1/3 innings for his second win of the postseason. Gurriel laced an RBI single to cap a three-run first, and the Diamondbacks chased rookie starter Bobby Miller in the second.

The early outburst came two nights after Los Angeles ace Clayton Kershaw was tagged for six runs while getting only one out during Arizona’s 11-2 rout in Game 1.

Gurriel added a solo homer in the sixth to make it 4-1. Paul Sewald pitched a perfect ninth for his third save of the playoffs, aided by a nice catch from Gurriel in left field.

The Dodgers have lost five straight postseason games dating to Game 2 of last year’s NLDS against San Diego.
