Brusdar Graterol gave up a go-ahead, two-run homer as the Dodgers lost 5-3 at Atlanta after finding out Daniel Hudson (torn ACL) is done for the season.
Freddie Freeman, a longtime Brave who helped that team win last year’s World Series, had a tearful but happy day in Atlanta with the Dodgers, who won 4-1.Two batters later, the Braves had retaken the lead, with Graterol giving up a leadoff double to Travis d’Arnaud before throwing a slider in the zone that Marcell Ozuna clobbered for a two-run home run.
Not only was his 2.22 ERA third lowest in the Dodgers’ bullpen behind only Evan Phillips and Yency Almonte, but Hudson had the second-best WHIP , the most holds and the third-best strikeout percentage. In the sixth, veteran David Price flashed season-high velocity, touching nearly 96 mph during a scoreless appearance. In the seventh, Phillips retired the side in order.
That brought Freddie Freeman to the plate. Up to that point, the second night of Freeman’s homecoming in Atlanta had been subdued. But with a chance to give his new team a lead, the former Braves star was booed by his old fans.L.A. Times readers agree that Sandy Koufax’s humble and grateful speech at a statue unveiling at Dodger Stadium in his honor defines his greatness.
But in the bottom half of the inning — in a situation that Roberts said afterward likely would have belonged to Hudson — Graterol let the Braves go back in front, leaving a slider too high to Ozuna that was deposited into the Braves’ center-field bullpen.
