The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Atlanta Braves 3-1 in Game 3 of their National League Division Series on Tuesday, taking a 2-1 lead in the best-of-five matchup.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto allowed one run on four hits and one walk while striking out 10 over seven innings at Truist Park. Atlanta starter Chris Sale held Los Angeles scoreless for three innings before the Dodgers scored all three of their runs on two homers in the fourth.

Andy Pages opened the inning with a single, and Kiké Hernández followed with a two-run home run. Freddie Freeman added a solo shot later in the inning to give Los Angeles a 3-0 advantage.

The Braves scored their only run in the fifth. Mauricio Dubón and Lane Thomas hit consecutive singles, Rowdy Tellez walked to load the bases, and Drake Baldwin brought home Dubón with a groundout.

Atlanta threatened again in the ninth when Ozzie Albies led off with a double, but Dodgers closer Edwin Díaz retired the next three batters to secure the win.

The result followed Atlanta’s 3-2 victory in Game 2 at Dodger Stadium, when Michael Harris II went 3-for-5 and Braves pitchers limited Los Angeles to solo home runs by Freeman and Max Muncy. The Dodgers now need one more victory to advance to the National League Championship Series.
