Roberts moves struggling Ohtani to No. 5 spot in Dodgers' lineup in NLDS Game 3 against Braves
ATLANTA (AP) -- Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts juggled his lineup for Tuesday night's 3-1 win over the Atlanta Braves in Game 3 of their NL
Freddie Freeman, a former Atlanta Brave, faced the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 3 of the NLDS. Freeman, who had played for the Braves from 2010-2021 and won a World Series with the team, received a chilly reception upon returning to Truist Park. Freeman, however, proved his mettle by hitting a powerful home run, seemingly destined to clear the left field fence.
In an epic display of skill and reflexes, Braves outfielder Mauricio Dubon made an incredible catch to rob Freeman of the home run. The highlight reel play kept Freeman from a two-run home run, potentially altering the momentum of the game and even the series. Freeman's long ball in the third inning off of Dodgers ace Chris Sale could have provided the Dodgers with much-needed momentum on the road. Dubon's save, however, gave the Braves the momentum they needed at home.
As of now, the game is tied 0-0, with a crucial pitcher's duel between Sale and Yoshinobu Yamamoto continuing at Truist Park. This Game 3 is significant as the series is currently tied 1-1. A win in Tuesday night's game could provide a significant boost to whichever team emerges victorious.
