The Atlanta Braves won their second straight after Tuesday’s 4-3 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers. Atlanta jumped out front early, plating three runs in the first inning and later scoring the game-winning run in the eighth. Ozzie Albies came up big, knocking in Matt Olson to give the Braves the edge.
On the other side of the ball, Bryce Elder turned in a start that began shakily, but he ultimately settled in. Over six innings, he allowed three runs on eight hits. He recorded five strikeouts.
Tuesday’s win made for Atlanta’s 77th win of the year. They go for the series win tonight at 7:15 ET.
The Braves currently have a 4.5 game lead over the division, but the NL East has taken some unexpected turns.
