LOS ANGELES -- Late Friday night, minutes after the Atlanta Braves and Los Angeles Dodgers staged a tightly contested, 11-inning game, Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernández was asked if it was indicative of how closely matched these two teams remain. A smile crept in.
"We're pretty close," Hernández said, "but I'm always going to say we're better."
A mere 38 hours later, Hernández delivered the definitive blow of what seemed like a defining series -- a sixth-inning two-run homer that extended a Dodgers lead, propelled Los Angeles to another victory and sealed a three-game sweep over the mighty Braves at Dodger Stadium.
