Freddie Freeman hit a solo home run Tuesday as the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Atlanta Braves 3-1 in Game 3 of the National League Division Series, according to a Los Angeles Times commentary. The win gave the Dodgers a 2-1 lead in the series.
Braves fans booed Freeman, their former star, during the game. The Los Angeles Times reported that Freeman said he heard only noise and that he still loves the organization that drafted him.
Freeman made a small change to his swing before this stretch. He has now homered twice in three games in the series, and the Times reported that he set a record for lefty-on-lefty postseason home runs.
The matchup has extra meaning for Freeman. He joined the Dodgers in 2022, but only after what the Los Angeles Times called a painful split with the Braves.
