Dodgers beat Braves on Kiké Hernández and Freddie Freeman homers, take 2-1 NLDS lead
The Dodgers secure a 3-1 victory Tuesday on the strength of two home runs, including Freddie Freeman's second of the NLDS, and Yoshinobu Yamamoto's seven stellar innings of work.
The Dodgers secured a 3-1 victory over the Atlanta Braves in Game 3 of the National League Division Series, taking a 2-1 lead in the best-of-five series. The home run ball and Yoshinobu Yamamoto's masterful performance on the mound were instrumental in securing the win. Despite the Dodgers' reliance on home runs, it was the pitching that ultimately won the game.
The Dodgers loaded the bases in the third inning but failed to capitalize on the opportunity as Freddie Freeman's home run was caught by Braves left fielder Mauricio Dubón. However, Kiké Hernández delivered a game-winning home run, followed by Freddie Freeman's second homer, sealing the victory for the Dodgers.
