Yamamoto Is Dominant Again as Dodgers Ride Homers From Hernández and Freeman to Win over Braves

Yoshinobu Yamamoto struck out 10 and Los Angeles hit two fourth-inning homers to move one win from the NL Championship Series.

  • On Tuesday, the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Atlanta Braves 3-1 at Truist Park, taking a 2-1 lead in the best-of-five National League Division Series.
  • Starters Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Chris Sale squared off 40 days after their last meeting, with Yamamoto striking out 10 batters to outduel Sale in the pivotal matchup.
  • Enrique Hernandez and Freddie Freeman hit back-to-back home runs in the fourth inning, with Hernandez's two-run shot followed by Freeman's solo homer to build a 3-0 lead.
  • "In a game that could have a major impact on the course of the series, I took the mound with great concentration," said Yamamoto, who allowed only one run.
  • The Dodgers can clinch a National League Championship Series return with a Wednesday win; if the Braves force a fifth game, it will be held Friday in Los Angeles.
