Dodgers Sweep Braves, Extend Winning Streak

The Los Angeles Dodgers swept the Atlanta Braves in a three-game series, extending their winning streak to seven games and improving to 5-0 against the Braves this season. Dodgers pitchers, including Dustin May, limited opponents to low batting averages, while hitters like Mookie Betts, Teoscar Hernandez, and Andy Pages contributed to one of the best on-base percentages in the league. Key injuries were noted for both teams, with Ronald Acuña Jr. sidelined for the Braves and Clayton Kershaw out for the Dodgers, though both teams expect returns later in May. The Braves struggled to contain the Dodgers' offense, despite their recent improvement after a slow season start. Elsewhere in the league, the Kansas City Royals, led by Bobby Witt Jr. and Cole Ragans, shut out the Chicago White Sox, while the Cleveland Guardians prepared for a series against the Nationals following a strong run. The Dodgers remain among the top teams in the majors after their dominant road series.
