Overview
- Los Angeles holds a 2-1 lead after a 3-1 Game 3 win that featured seven strong innings and 10 strikeouts from Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
- Game 4 is at Truist Park on Wednesday at 6:00 p.m. ET with Tyler Mahle starting for the Braves and Tyler Glasnow taking the mound for the Dodgers.
- Freddie Freeman has homered in both Games 2 and 3 and Enrique Hernández delivered a two-run homer in Game 3, giving the Dodgers timely power late in the series.
- Ronald Acuña Jr. has struggled at the plate (2-for-12 in the series) and was reported to have skipped reporters after the Game 3 loss, a development the Braves will need to address if they hope to extend the series.
- If Atlanta wins tonight the teams will travel to Los Angeles for a winner-take-all Game 5 on Friday and if the Braves lose their season will end, a reminder that short best-of-five series magnify single starts and timely hitting.
