Freddie Freeman hits 1st homerun for Dodgers in reunion win over Braves

Freddie Freeman is crafting a Hollywood beginning to his career with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Freddie Freeman is crafting a Hollywood beginning to his career with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

And it’s already a love story.

Freeman slugged his first home run in a Dodgers uniform — against his former team, no less — and Trea Turner’s bases-loaded double highlighted a five-run fourth inning as Los Angeles beat the Atlanta Braves 7-4 on Monday night for its seventh consecutive victory.

“Glad I got the first one out of the way,” Freeman said.
