After a series win against a playoff contender in the Brewers to start the second half, the Dodgers are now coming off dropping a series to the playoff contending Phillies. Tonight they started a series against another playoff contender in the Braves and were on the road yet again. While the bats definitely got off to a slow start, a quality outing and a bunch of late runs led to an easy 8-2 win.

Braves starter Anibal Sanchez faced just one above the minimum through four innings, but the bats broke through in the 5th thanks to old friend Charlie Culberson.
