The Dodgers are one win away from going back to the World Series.

With their 3-1 victory over the Atlanta Braves in Game 6 of the National League Championship Series on Saturday, the Dodgers tied the series to force a Game 7 on Sunday.

Saturday’s win included some spectacular moments. From Walker Buehler’s bases-loaded escape act in the second inning to Mookie Betts’ gravity-defying catch in the fifth, Game 6 had its share of big performances.

Here are some of the best images of the game from Los Angeles Times photographer Robert Gauthier.
