Dodgers Win a Close One in Series Opener Against the Braves

The Dodgers had a lot of different storylines to deal with on Monday evening in Los Angeles. There was the return of Kenley Jansen to the team that he came up with after signing a free-agent deal with the Braves this offseason, but there was also the reunion of Freddie Freeman with Atlanta.

Add in the fact that it was the game after Clayton Kershaw was pulled after 7 perfect innings, and there was a lot of emotions to manage. But the Dodgers offense came out firing, and Freddie Freeman crushed the firs homerun of his Dodger career in the very first at-bat of the game.
