Braves Edge Dodgers 4-3, Halt LA's 7-Game Win Streak

Austin Riley powered the Atlanta Braves to a 4-3 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers with two two-run home runs, helping the team avoid a season sweep and snap the Dodgers' seven-game winning streak. Riley homered in both the first and third innings off Dodgers starter Dustin May, giving Atlanta an early lead. Braves starter Bryce Elder pitched five solid innings, allowing two runs, while relievers Daysbel Hernandez and Raisel Iglesias, who struck out the side in the ninth, helped secure the win. The Dodgers narrowed the gap with runs from Max Muncy and a pinch-hit homer by Miguel Rojas, but ultimately fell short. The Braves had lost their previous five games against the Dodgers this season, making this win a key morale boost. Both teams now continue their respective road and home series openers on Monday.
