After losing on Saturday night in a walk-off heartbreaker, Max Scherzer and the #Dodgers look to even the #NLCS in Game 2 against the Atlanta Braves.

Get live updates from the game at latimes.com/sports/dodgers…
The Dodgers were one timely hit, one blast, one crooked number away from withstanding the Atlanta Braves’ best punch Saturday night.

But the mercurial offense didn’t produce for the final five innings.

latimes.com/sports/dodgers…
The wasted chances opened the door for the Atlanta Braves to steal Game 1 of the National League Championship Series, which they did when Austin Riley’s single drove in Ozzie Albies for a walk-off 3-2 victory

latimes.com/sports/dodgers…
Yeah, folks, the Dodgers really messed this one up.

In what should have been yet another strong step in their seemingly preordained journey back to the World Series on Saturday, the Dodgers staggered, stumbled and ended up on their backs.

Knebel was the Dodgers’ opener, at a time MLB is exploring whether to put a close on the era of the opener.

Wall Street Baseball is the quest to find and exploit even the tiniest of advantages. Just win, baby, and who cares about the aesthetics?

The Dodgers lineup Sunday for Game 2 of the NLCS is missing Justin Turner.

Manager Dave Roberts said Turner is battling a stinger on the right side of his neck that first popped up during batting practice before Saturday’s series-opener.

latimes.com/sports/dodgers…
The Dodgers were able to overcome a 2-0 (and later 3-1) hole in last year’s National League Championship Series against the Atlanta Braves.

They’d prefer not to have to do it again.

Here’s what you need to know about Game 2:

First pitch is scheduled for 4:38 p.m. PDT.

The Braves lead the series 1-0.

It's 2-0 #Dodgers in the first inning of the #NLCS.

After Mookie Betts hit a leadoff single, Corey Seager hammered a hanging first-pitch curveball to right-center for a two-run homer.

#NLCS Game 2 is still tied 2-2

@WallySkalij Earlier this weekend, #Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Julio Urías would be the team’s pitcher for Game 4.

But Urías just took the mound for the 8th inning in #NLCS Game 2...

@WallySkalij The #Braves have tied #NLCS Game 2.

It's 4-4 in the bottom of the 8th.

latimes.com/sports/dodgers…
The #Dodgers did something they haven’t done all year, bringing Julio Urías out of the bullpen and into a leverage situation late in the game to begin the eighth inning.

It didn't work.

For all of our present concerns with diet and health, sugar was a scourge of an altogether different order for the African continent,” writes @hofrench for @latimesopinion. latimes.com/opinion/story/…
“Before the early 17th century, refined sugar was first known as an exotic spice and medicinal. In Europe, it was so expensive that its consumption was mostly limited to royalty and their courts.”
“This began to change suddenly, though, with the ramping up of production of sugar cane, especially in Portuguese Brazil and then in English-controlled Barbados…”

It’s a simple and intuitive idea: People tend to listen more to those they know.

So in L.A. County, health officials are enlisting people living in tents, RVs and makeshift shelters to help get unhoused people vaccinated against COVID-19.

latimes.com/california/sto…
Dozens of people have become peer ambassadors through the demonstration project, which compensates them to do the work for up to eight hours in total, providing $25 gift cards to stores such as Target or Ralphs for each hour worked.

They work side by side with L.A. County Department of Health Services workers, sharing their personal experiences with the vaccine. The teams also hand out snacks, water and other critical supplies, including naloxone kits to treat opioid overdoses.

In a year of both extreme heat and extreme drought, California has reported its driest water year in terms of precipitation in a century, and experts fear the coming 12 months could be even worse.

latimes.com/california/sto…
The Western Regional Climate Center added average precipitation that had been reported at each of its stations and calculated that a total of 11.87 inches of rain and snow fell in California in the 2021 water year.

latimes.com/california/sto…
Based on the diminished levels of both precipitation and runoff, the last water year was the second driest on record, according to the California Department of Water Resources.

The last time the state reported so little rain and snowfall was in 1924.
