The Dodgers emerged victorious over the Atlanta Braves with a score of 9-2 on Sunday night, powered by three consecutive home runs in the ninth inning after a stellar performance by Walker Buehler. The Dodgers now have a Magic Number of 10 to clinch the NL West title.
Their unique “wraparound series” in Atlanta is set to conclude today.
Here are the top headlines from Sunday:
Following a tough game where rookie Landon Knack allowed five runs against the Braves, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts did not confirm Knack’s spot in the playoff rotation. Despite the challenges, Roberts remains optimistic about Knack’s next start and insists that this setback will not impact his postseason chances.
Tony Gonsolin faced difficulties in his recovery journey, struggling in his second rehab start for Triple-A Oklahoma City, raising concerns about his readiness for the playoffs. With an already weakened rotation, the Dodgers’ playoff plans are uncertain with Gonsolin’s status up in the air.
Tyler Glasnow’s elbow injury added to the Dodgers’ injury woes, leading him to undergo testing for a sprained right elbow. This came as a surprise as he was scheduled for a simulated game. The team will await further medical advice on his condition as they plan for the postseason without him.
