Mookie Betts drives in the go-ahead run in the ninth before Teoscar Hernández, Tommy Edman and Max Muncy hit consecutive home runs in a 9-2 win over Atlanta.
Despite all the injuries to their pitching staff and questions about their roster depth, the Dodgers still believe. That they can finish off a division title in the National League West. That they can mount a deep, albeit unconventional, October run. That, as manager Dave Roberts declared, “the talent we have, the character we have, is plenty to win the World Series.” If so, they’ll need more performances like Sunday’s 9-2 win over the Atlanta Braves.
Former Braves star Freddie Freeman quickly added some insurance, lining a single to left that scored two runs after Jarred Kelenic misplayed the ball. From there, the Dodgers took out their frustrations from the last couple days — including Saturday’s news that ace pitcher Tyler Glasnow will likely miss the rest of the season with a sprained elbow — in explosive fashion. Hernández hammered his 29th home run of the season to left.
