The Atlanta Braves (0-6) and the Los Angeles Dodgers (7-0) will conclude their three-game series on Wednesday at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. The Dodgers lead the season series 2-0.
The Braves faced their sixth straight loss to start the season, going down 3-1 on Tuesday night. Atlanta struggled to generate offense, recording only 3 hits, with 1B Matthew Olson providing the sole extra-base hit with a double.
The team left 12 runners on base (LOB). LHP Chris Sale took the loss, allowing 3 earned runs on 4 hits while walking none and striking out 5 in 5 innings.
In their last 4 games, Atlanta has only scored 2 total runs, leading to 4 straight games hitting the Under. The pitching staff has given the team a chance by allowing 5 or fewer runs in 4 of the last 5 appearances.
Meanwhile, the Dodgers welcomed back RHP Dustin May from injuries, including a flexor tendon issue and an esophageal tear.
In his return, he allowed just one unearned run and 1 hit, with 3 walks and 6 strikeouts across 5 innings in a no-decision. SS Mookie Betts hit his third home run of the season, driving in 2 runs.
Los Angeles has won all 7 of their games to start the season. Although the 3 runs scored on Tuesday marked a season low, it was still enough for a victory.
The Braves remain winless after the first six games. They struggled against the Dodgers in the first two matchups of the series. They have been within three runs in four of their losses, including the close 3-1 game against the Dodgers on Tuesday.
The Braves only allowed five hits in that game, but the Dodgers sealed the win with a three-run seventh inning.
On Wednesday, Atlanta will send 2023 All-Star Bryce Elder to the mound, following his call-up to the majors after Reynaldo Lopez was placed on the 15-day injured list due to a shoulder issue.
