Dodgers get another big inning, take opener from Braves

Field Level Media

The Los Angeles Dodgers went from being no-hit through the first four innings to scoring eight runs in the fifth as they beat the host Atlanta Braves 9-5 on Friday night.

The two teams, in their first meeting since Los Angeles won the 2020 NLCS last October, continue their three-game series on Saturday.

Los Angeles, which scored 11 runs in the first inning of its win against St. Louis on Wednesday, put up eight in the fifth Friday off just three hits.

Atlanta, which held the Dodgers to a total of four hits in the game, opened the scoring in the first when Freddie Freeman homered to center.
