Dodgers fall short in opener with Braves
Tyler Glasnow solid in return from IL after first-inning woes
Atlanta, Georgia - On August 25, 2026, the Los Angeles Dodgers faced off against the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park in the series opener. Despite a strong effort from Tyler Glasnow, the Dodgers fell short, losing 4-3. Ozzie Albies sealed the victory for Atlanta with a key single in the eighth inning. Glasnow struggled in the first inning, allowing three runs on four hits and 35 pitches.
However, he turned things around in the second inning, striking out all seven Braves batters. Overall, it was a solid performance from Glasnow, who didn't issue any walks. The Dodgers called up Tommy Edman to help bolster their lineup, but he only contributed with an RBI single in three appearances. The Dodgers currently trail the Milwaukee Brewers by one game in the National League standings, but they bounced back with a win against the Braves, holding a three-game advantage over the Dodgers for the second seed.
The Braves, on the other hand, now sit just three games behind the Dodgers for the division's second playoff spot.
