Dodgers Soar to Victory Despite Thunderstorm Delay
ATLANTA — The Los Angeles Dodgers extended their winning streak to seven games with a decisive 10-3 victory over the Atlanta Braves, despite facing a lengthy thunderstorm delay that postponed the game for over three hours. Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman each contributed with three hits, including a home run, as the Dodgers showcased an impressive offensive performance.
The game was originally slated to start before a sudden deluge hit, delaying action until 10:21 p.m. ET. Fans were treated to pre-game festivities, but the weather forced players to wait in the clubhouse, where they passed time playing games and enjoying snacks.
When play finally commenced, the Dodgers quickly took control. Will Smith opened the scoring with a leadoff double, followed by Ohtani’s towering 415-foot homer in the third inning. Freeman added to the offense, hitting a three-run homer in the eighth to cap the spirited performance.
During their seven-game streak, the Dodgers have outscored opponents 63-25, with significant contributions from both Freeman and Ohtani. The victory marked Roki Sasaki’s first MLB win, despite some nervous moments on the mound.
