ATLANTA (AP) --- Ozzie Albies singled in the go-ahead run with two outs in the
eighth inning and the Atlanta Braves defeated Los Angles 4-3 on Tuesday night,
snapping the Dodgers' six-game winning streak in a matchup of first-place clubs.
After the Braves squandered an early 3-0 lead against Tyler Glasnow, who made
his first big league start in 3 1/2 months, Matt Olson led off the eighth with
a double to left-center against Tanner Scott (1-4).
Mauricio Dubn moved the runner to third with a broken-bat grounder to second,
but Michael Harris II failed to get Olson home with a weak grounder back to the
mound. That left it up to Albies, who came through with a liner to center field.
Shohei Ohtani tripled off the left-field wall leading off the ninth against
Raisel Iglesias, but the Dodgers couldn't get him home. Iglesias earned his
28th save in 31 chances.
Glasnow gave up hits to four of the first five Atlanta hitters, but the
right-hander surrendered just two more during his five-inning stint. He struck
out seven and didn't walk anyone while throwing 89 pitches.
Glasnow had been sidelined by a lower back injury since May 6.
The Braves came into the game with an offense that had struggled mightily
during a 3-7 skid that reduced their NL East lead over Philadelphia from nine
games to just three.
But Atlanta jumped on Glasnow right away, getting run-scoring singles from
Dubn and Harris. Albies tacked on his 13th sacrifice fly of the season to set
a franchise record, breaking the mark he shared with Hank Aaron and Del
Crandall, who both had a dozen sac flies in 1960.
The Dodgers wasted no time bouncing back against Bryce Elder. Alek Thomas and
Hunter Feduccia came through in the second with two-out, run-scoring singles
and Alex Call's RBI single tied it at 3 in the fourth.
Dylan Dodd (4-1) claimed the win by getting the final Dodgers out in the eighth.
Up next RHP Roki Sasaki (5-5, 4.42 ERA) goes for the Dodgers on Wednesday in the second game of the series against Braves RHP AJ Smith-Shawver (0-0, 6.23), who is making his third big league start of the season and first of his career against Los Angeles. ___ See AP's full MLB coverage here |
