The Los Angeles Dodgers have advanced to the National League Championship Series (NLCS) for the third consecutive year after defeating the Atlanta Braves 4-1 in Game 4 of the National League Division Series, winning the series 3-1. After trailing 1-0 in the first inning following a wild pitch by starter Tyler Glasnow, the Dodgers tied the game in the second inning, aided by defensive errors from Atlanta that allowed Shohei Ohtani to score. The decisive seventh inning saw Andy Pages hit a two-run single with the bases loaded on a 3-2 pitch from Robert Suarez to drive in Teoscar Hernández and Tommy Edman. This hit represented the first time in the series that the Dodgers recorded a hit with runners in scoring position. This performance marked a significant turnaround for Pages, who had struggled offensively in previous postseason appearances. Max Muncy later provided an insurance run with a solo home run in the ninth inning, setting a franchise record with 19 postseason home runs. Glasnow earned the win, limiting the Braves to just three hits and one run over 4.2 innings. The Dodgers' bullpen, including Alex Vesia, Edgardo Henríquez, Tanner Scott, and Edwin Díaz, held the Braves scoreless for the remainder of the contest. Throughout the series, the Braves' offense struggled, failing to score on 18 runners left on base. The victory allows Los Angeles to reorganize its rotation and bullpen while managing the role of Shohei Ohtani ahead of the next round. The Dodgers now await the winner of the series between the Milwaukee Brewers and the San Diego Padres.
