Yoshinobu Yamamoto leads Dodgers to 3-1 win over Braves
The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Atlanta Braves 3-1 in Game 3 of the National League Division Series, taking a 2-1 lead in the best-of-five series. Yoshinobu Yamamoto delivered a dominant performance, pitching seven innings with 10 strikeouts and allowing only one run on four hits.
Offensively, the Dodgers secured their lead in the fourth inning. Kiké Hernández hit a two-run home run against Braves pitcher Chris Sale, followed by a solo home run from Freddie Freeman. Edwin Díaz closed the game in the ninth inning to earn the save.
Despite the victory, the Dodgers face concerns regarding Miguel Rojas, who left the game due to lower back discomfort and is considered day-to-day. The Dodgers are now one win away from advancing to the National League Championship Series.
