In a dominant display at Dodger Stadium, the Los Angeles Dodgers swept the Atlanta Braves in a three-game series, culminating in a decisive 5-1 victory. Key to the Dodgers' success were Shohei Ohtani, who hit two home runs in the final game, and Max Muncy, who had a three-homer game earlier in the series. Teoscar Hernandez also contributed with a two-run homer. Ohtani's performance, which included a 464-foot home run, was part of a broader offensive onslaught that saw the Dodgers outscore the Braves 14-6 over the series. The Dodgers' pitching was equally impressive, with Tyler Glasnow and James Paxton both delivering strong starts, Glasnow striking out 10 in one of the games.

Shohei Ohtani just demolished A.J. Minter's first pitch for a HR to CF to lead off the bottom of the eighth. It traveled 464 feet and left bat at 110 mph. #Dodgers up 5-1 on #Braves.
Teoscar Hernandez doubles the #Dodgers lead over #Braves with a two-run HR to LCF off Max Fried in sixth inning. It's now 4-0 LA.
The #Dodgers have three hits against #Braves LHP Max Fried today. Shohei Ohtani has all of them, a first-inning two-run homer and singles in the third and sixth inning. It's still 2-0 LA in the bottom of the sixth. LHP James Paxton twirling a gem for LA.
Shohei Ohtani leads MLB with a .660 slugging percentage. That’s 74 points higher than the player the with second-best SLG% (Mookie Betts, .582). The difference between 1st and 2nd on the SLG% leaderboard is the same as the difference between 2nd and 24th. https://t.co/TlwsW08x5m
The Dodgers lead off and 2 hitter are both hitting over .355 😂 Freddie Freeman and Teoscar Hernandez hit after that. It’s not a fair fight. When Ohtani takes the mound in 2025, it’s going to be a problem.
#Braves' Max Fried entered this game with a 15.88 ERA in first innings this season, and a 1.40 ERA in all other innings. His first-inning ERA is now 16.20 after the Ohtani homer. All three homers Fried has allowed this season have been in the first inning.

Two batters in, Max Fried and #Braves trail 2-0 -- a Mookie Betts walk and a Shohei Ohtani homer to dead center.
Ohtani does it again. First-inning home run to center field. Thank you Angels.
