Story summary

The Dodgers face the Braves in Game 4 of their National League Division Series (NLDS) on October 7 at Truist Park in Atlanta. In Game 3, the Dodgers won 3-1 thanks to clutch hits by Kike Hernandez and Freddie Freeman against Chris Sale's strong performance. Tyler Mahle, who has a 2-0 record and a 2.92 ERA this season when pitching at home for the Braves, will take the mound for Atlanta. The Dodgers counter with Tyler Glasnow, who last pitched on September 24 and struck out eleven batters against the Padres. Despite oddsmakers favoring Los Angeles as -150 favorites, the Braves need strong offensive contributions from Ronald Acuña Jr., Drake Baldridge, Matt Olson, and Ozzie Albies to extend their season.

Narrative

Kike Hernandez’s two-run blast and Freddie Freeman’s clutch solo shot in the fourth inning halted Chris Sale’s dominant early showing, leading to a 3-1 win. Mahle now takes the mound for Atlanta, and he has pitched well at home since joining the Braves. However, even if he is able to cool down LA’s bats, the Braves’ inconsistent hitting has hurt them this series.
