LOS ANGELES — The Braves have had a few stinkers like this against the Dodgers in recent years, but Matt Wisler had never given up as many runs in his brief major-league career as he did Sunday, much less doing it after having a lead.
Staked to a 2-0 lead in the first inning, Wisler was rocked for nine hits, eight runs and three homers in four innings of a 12-6 loss that gave the Dodgers a sweep of the three-game series and continued their recent domination of the Braves.
Atlanta has lost 17 of 23 games against the Dodgers going back to the 2013 division series, and the Braves have dropped 10 of 11 games at Dodger Stadium in that span.
