In a critical matchup, the Braves faced the Dodgers with Bryce Elder stepping in for an injured pitcher. Despite the Dodgers' strong lineup, the Braves capitalized on errors and displayed effective hitting early in the game. Elder showed promise in his return, striking out notable hitters but struggled with consistency, allowing a home run. The game illustrated the Braves' ability to maintain momentum through both offense and strategic pitching highlights, setting the stage for an intense series finale.
Both starting pitchers lasted for less than half of the game, both pitching 4.0 innings.
Bryce Elder made a statement in his return by forcing Shohei Ohtani and Mookie Betts to groundout.
The Braves scored again after newly acquired Stuart Fairchild reached on an error by Muncy.
Elder was not as fortunate in the second inning...Tommy Edman took him deep to center.
