Yasmani Grandal returned to the Dodgers lineup Wednesday, three days after his catcher's mask was violently struck by a foul ball.
He was a central figure in the team's 3-1 victory over the Atlanta Braves, as he was two for three with a run and a walk.
"It kind of got me back in the groove," Grandal said.
The Dodgers trailed, 1-0, until the fifth inning, which Grandal led off with a double against starter Julio Teheran.
Grandal advanced to third base on a groundout by Carl Crawford and scored on a single by Alberto Callaspo to tie the score, 1-1.
