Braves avoid sweep with walk-off, but Dodgers settle for moral victory

Otherwise, Wednesday’s 4-3 loss at Truist Park would have been a lot more frustrating.
After surprise wins in the first two games of the series, when the Dodgers prevailed with rookie pitchers on the mound, the finale seemed set up for a potential statement sweep.
The Dodgers outhit the Braves 12-5. They got their starting pitcher into the sixth inning for the first time in almost two weeks. They had runners aboard in every inning.
