Tonight’s game was close from start to finish but at the end of the night, the Atlanta Braves were able to outlast the Los Angeles Dodgers in order to avoid getting swept. Atlanta manufactured a run in the bottom of the ninth inning in a tie game in order take a 4-3 win in walk-off fashion.
For the first three innings of this game, things were extremely quiet at the plate for both teams as both pitchers hit the ground running. Tony Gonsolin had a perfect game going through the first three frames, while Bryce Elder continued to get things done in Bryce Elder-like fashion — he was giving up hits but always managed to find a way to get out of any jams that he found himself in.
