Overview
- Wednesday night at Truist Park Ha‑Seong Kim delivered an eight‑pitch, two‑out single to score Lane Thomas and give the Braves a 6‑5 walk‑off win over the Dodgers.
- The hit snapped Kim's long drought — he had five hits in 76 at‑bats since June and had missed time with injury — but did not erase his season‑long struggles at the plate.
- AJ Smith‑Shawver made his third start and provided five innings of work while the Braves bullpen, including Didier Fuentes and Victor Mederos, kept the game within reach late.
- Dodgers starter Roki Sasaki departed after 3 1/3 innings with a blister on his pitching hand and the team planned to place him on the injured list, shifting short‑term bullpen demand.
- The win completed the Braves' close‑game sweep of the series, clinched the season set against Los Angeles, and gave Atlanta a short‑term standings lift as the race for a National League bye tightens.
