Atlanta is 11-1-1 in 13 series this season.<\/p>\n<p>Baldwin and Olson connected late in the game off Justin Wrobleski, who gave up seven runs and seven hits in 8 2\/3 innings. Wrobleski (5-1) had permitted five runs combined in his first six starts.<\/p>\n<p>Elder (4-1) struck out eight and walked four while lowering his ERA to 1.81.<\/p>\n<p>With the bases loaded and two outs in the sixth, Braves right fielder Eli White banged hard into the wall while catching Max Muncy&#8217;s long drive.<\/p>\n<p>White was replaced by Mike Yastrzemski in the eighth, and manager Walt Weiss said White will go through concussion protocol.<\/p>\n<p>Yastrzemski was hit in the helmet by a pitch from Wrobleski in the ninth but stayed in the game. Yastrzemski said afterward he felt fine.<\/p>\n<p>White opened the scoring with an RBI single in the second before Dub\u00f3n&#8217;s two-out double down the left-field line put Atlanta up 4-0 after two innings for the second consecutive game.<\/p>\n<p>Elder was lifted after walking three straight batters with two outs in the sixth. Robert Suarez came on to retire Muncy, who hit a two-run homer off Tyler Kinley in the eighth to break up the shutout.<\/p>\n<p>Los Angeles generated two earned runs in 18 2\/3 innings against Braves starting pitchers during the series.<\/p>\n<p>Braves: Head home for another matchup with an NL division leader when they face the Chicago Cubs for three games starting Tuesday night.<\/p>\n<p>Dodgers: Open a four-game series against the Giants on Monday night. Roki Sasaki (1-3, 5.97 ERA) gets the nod after having his start pushed back two days, while San Francisco will go with Trevor McDonald (1-0, 1.29).<\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>AP MLB: https:\/\/apnews.com\/MLB<\/p>\n<p class=\"content__tags__label\">In:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bryce Elder allowed one hit in 5 2\/3 scoreless innings, Mauricio Dub\u00f3n had a three-run double and the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":635862,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[65],"tags":[2111,2323,13090,363,99],"class_list":["post-635861","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-atlanta-braves","tag-los-angeles-dodgers","tag-major-league-baseball","tag-mlb","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/635861","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=635861"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/635861\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/635862"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=635861"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=635861"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=635861"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
