The Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Atlanta Braves 3-1 in Game 3 of the NL Division Series, taking a 2-1 series lead. Yoshinobu Yamamoto delivers another dominant performance, striking out 10, while Kiké Hernández and Freddie Freeman hit two home runs that provide the Dodgers’ scoring.
All outlets describe the same key turning point: the Dodgers build a decisive advantage after the homers in the fourth inning. Reports say Hernández’ home run drives in runs to put LA ahead, and Freeman later hits a second long ball, including Freeman’s second homer of the NLDS. Meanwhile, Atlanta’s pitching is described as less effective in the matchup, with Chris Sale allowing three runs and working through five innings.
Coverage centers primarily on Yamamoto’s pitching and the Dodgers’ power in the middle innings, with consistent game and series details across sources. The result sets up the next NLDS matchup with Los Angeles carrying a one-game advantage.
