Clayton Kershaw allowed a double to Ronald Acuna Jr on the first pitch of the night. A solid line drive that one-hopped the wall in the gap to the left of center. Acuña would reach third with only one output wouldn’t score.
That would be as close as the Braves would come to scoring all night.
Kershaw would allow only one more hit the rest of the way, blanking Atlanta in eight skillful innings. The Dodgers cruised to a 3-0 win to bring them one game away from eliminating the Braves from postseason.
