Story summary

On October 6, the Los Angeles Dodgers faced the Atlanta Braves in Game 3 of their National League Division Series at Truist Park in Atlanta. The pivotal game matched Dodger pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto against former Cy Young Award winner Chris Sale, a matchup that could determine the series' direction after the first two games ended in a tie. Despite having won critical elimination games before, this was Yamamoto's most significant challenge as he faces one of baseball’s top aces. Both teams’ offenses have struggled recently, suggesting a low-scoring contest where pitching will dominate. The game aired on FS1 and was available for free via DIRECTV’s five-day trial.
