The Los Angeles Dodgers secured a 3-1 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday night, extending their flawless record to 7-0 this season. This impressive start matches the best season opening record by a defending World Series champion in MLB history, a feat previously achieved by the 1933 New York Yankees. However, it’s worth noting that none of the teams with a 5-0 or better start have made it back to the World Series, emphasizing that early success doesn’t guarantee ultimate glory.
The game saw the Dodgers facing a tough challenge as they fell behind the Braves early on. Mookie Betts, who struggled with a throwing error in the second inning, redeemed himself with a crucial two-run home run off Chris Sale. The Dodgers added another run later in the inning, ultimately securing the victory.
Dustin May, making his first MLB appearance since his recovery from Tommy John surgery, delivered a solid performance on the mound for the Dodgers. Despite some rust, May pitched five innings, allowing only one run while striking out six batters. The Braves, on the other hand, continue to struggle with a 0-6 record and various key players sidelined due to injuries.
As the Dodgers and Braves gear up for their upcoming matchup, the spotlight remains on the Dodgers’ quest for continued success and the Braves’ challenges amidst a rocky start to the season.
