The Los Angeles Dodgers avoided a four-game series sweep against the Atlanta Braves with a 3-1 win in the final game of the series. The clash between the two National League’s top teams was a tight affair, with the Dodgers taking the lead in the fourth inning and never relinquishing it.
The Dodgers got on the board first in the fourth inning when Corey Seager hit an RBI single to score Justin Turner. The Braves responded in the bottom of the fourth when Ronald Acuna Jr. scored on a wild pitch. However, that was all the scoring the Braves could muster as the Dodgers’ pitching staff held them scoreless for the rest of the game.
The Dodgers added two more runs in the sixth inning on a two-run double by Max Muncy. This proved to be enough for the Dodgers to secure the win and avoid a four-game sweep.
The win was a big one for the Dodgers, who had lost three straight games to the Braves. It also showed that the Dodgers are still one of the top teams in the National League, despite their recent struggles.
The Dodgers will now look to build on this win as they continue their quest for a World Series title. They will face off against the San Diego Padres in their next series, which begins on Monday. With a win in that series, the Dodgers could move into first place in the NL West.
Overall, it was an important win for the Dodgers as they avoided a four-game sweep at the hands of one of their biggest rivals. It also showed that they are still one of the top teams in the National League and will be a force to be reckoned with as they look to make a run at a World Series title.
