Albies drives in winning run in the 8th, Braves win 4-3 to snap Dodgers 6-game winning streak.

In the eighth inning, Ozzie Albies singled in the decisive run for the Atlanta Braves, leading them to a 4-3 victory against the Los Angeles Dodgers and ending the Dodgers' six-game winning streak. The matchup featured two first-place teams in the National League. After Atlanta took an early 3-0 lead against Tyler Glasnow, who was making his first big league start in 3 1/2 months, the game became a contest between the two club's top offenses.

Mauricio Dubón moved the runners with a broken-bat grounder, but Michael Harris II's weak grounder failed to score Olson. Albies then delivered with a liner to center field. Despite Shohei Ohtani's solo homer in the top of the ninth, the Dodgers couldn't capitalize. Glasnow allowed hits to the first five Atlanta hitters but struck out seven and didn't walk anyone in his five innings.

The Braves' offense showed improvement after a recent slump, while the Dodgers bounced back strongly in their next game, led by Alex Call's RBI single in the fourth inning.
