On Saturday night, the Dodgers beat themselves. The offense once again was stagnant, scoring only 2 runs while leaving multiple opportunities out on the basepaths, as has been the case often this season. However, officially they lost because the Braves scored one more run than them (that’s how it works, right?) And two of Atlanta’s runs in game 1 came in part because of two stolen bases allowed by the Dodgers.
In the first inning, outfielder Eddie Rosario singled, stole second base, advanced to third base on a ground out, and scored on a wild pitch by Corey Knebel.
