Oh, what a thrilling comeback it was for our Dodgers! They faced an early 4-0 deficit against the Braves, but they refused to back down. Our superstar Freddie Freeman, in his triumphant return to Atlanta, showed his former team what they were missing. With a powerful swing in the fifth inning, Freddie launched a majestic three-run homer that catapulted the Dodgers to the win, 6-4.

J.D. Martinez, the man with the golden bat, was also on fire. He smacked two homers, one off Charlie Morton in the second inning and another off A.J. Minter in the seventh. Martinez’s impressive display of power helped secure his 20th career multi-homer game.

Our rookie pitcher Gavin Stone had a rough start, giving up five runs in four innings, but the bullpen came to the rescue. Evan Phillips threw a scoreless fifth, and Brusdar Graterol slammed the door shut in the end, earning his third save.

The game had its tense moments too. Marcell Ozuna’s bat accidentally struck catcher Will Smith’s helmet, leading to some heated exchanges between the players. However, cooler heads prevailed, and no further conflicts arose.

One year after his emotional return to Atlanta, Freddie Freeman was all smiles this time around. He acknowledged the warm reception from the fans, tipping his helmet in gratitude. Freeman, reunited with his former teammate Jason Heyward, expressed how surreal it feels to come full circle.

In unfortunate news, Clayton Kershaw was placed on the bereavement list to attend his mother’s funeral. Our thoughts and prayers are with Kershaw and his family during this difficult time. He is expected to rejoin the team soon and make his next start on Saturday.

Next up, we have Bobby Miller making his debut for the Dodgers against Atlanta’s Spencer Strider. It promises to be an exciting clash of hard-throwing right-handers.

Stay tuned, Dodgers fans! The boys in blue are relentless, and they’ll continue to fight for victory with every swing of the bat and pitch on the mound. This is Lucky Vincent, signing off.
