With the Braves clinging to a one run lead, Trea Turner led off the 8th with a double. Max Muncy grounded out and Mookie Betts struck out to bring the team one out away from the ninth. Brian Snitker elected to pull Tyler Matzek for Chris Martin, and the Dodgers promptly went single, walk, single, and it was 4-3.
