The Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Atlanta Braves 3-1 in Game 3 of the National League Division Series. Kiké Hernández and Freddie Freeman both homered, according to the Los Angeles Times.
The win gives Los Angeles a 2-1 lead in the best-of-five series.
The Times reported that the Dodgers came into the game knowing they couldn't count so heavily on home runs, especially against the Braves' ace. They tried to manufacture runs another way and put six runners on base in the first three innings, but those chances didn't produce a run.
In the end, the long ball still made the difference. Freeman hit a solo home run off Atlanta left-hander Chris Sale, as shown in a photo caption with the Times story.
The Times also described the start by a Dodgers right-hander as masterful. The pitcher's name is cut off in the source text we have, so we are not naming him here.
