Dodgers vs. Braves Game 3 NLDS Live Updates

The National League Division Series (NLDS) between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Atlanta Braves continues with Game 3 on Tuesday, broadcast live on FS1. As the series stands tied, starting pitchers Yoshinobu Yamamoto for the Dodgers and Chris Sale for the Braves take the mound, each showcasing their skills early in the game.

Dodgers Gain Lead via Home Runs

Kiké Hernández has been a pivotal player for the Dodgers, hitting a crucial two-run homer in the fourth inning, propelling his team’s score. His home run traveled 406 feet into the left field, marking his 17th career postseason homer. Following Hernández, Freddie Freeman received a mix of boos from the Atlanta crowd but silenced them somewhat with a solo home run, contributing to the Dodgers’ lead.

Freeman’s solo 399-foot homer in the fourth inning highlights his remarkable performance, bringing his career playoff home run tally to 18. Notably, all of the Dodgers’ runs in this series have been achieved through home runs. The inning concluded with Teoscar Hernández flying out to left.

Strong Performances in Early Innings

Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Chris Sale have demonstrated their capabilities throughout the game. Yamamoto executed key strikeouts against Ozzie Albies and Baldwin. As the fourth inning closed, Yamamoto had given up just one hit, maintaining strong control with four strikeouts across his 32 pitches.

Conversely, Chris Sale battled with an impressive performance, logging seven hits and three earned runs over 80 pitches, striking out six batters along the way.

Noteworthy Moments

One of the key defensive plays occurred when Braves’ left fielder Mauricio Dubón executed a remarkable leaping catch in front of the Dodgers’ bullpen to rob Freddie Freeman of a two-run homer in the third inning.

In the first inning, Dodgers’ Mookie Betts reached base on a play that challenged Atlanta’s defense, and Tesocar Hernández eventually found his way onboard despite a bobble by shortstop Ha-Seong Kim that led to an error.
