LOS ANGELES -- For the first time since April 23, the Dodgers are a game above .500.
Behind two solo blasts from Yasmani Grandal, back-to-back jacks by Joc Pederson and Max Muncy and a solo bomb from Cody Bellinger, the Dodgers overpowered the Braves in a 7-3 win Friday night at Dodger Stadium. The victory marked Los Angeles' 16th in its last 21 contests.
The offensive effort proved just enough for the Dodgers to outlast Atlanta's offense, which entered the night ranked first in the National League in batting average (.
