The Los Angeles Dodgers hosted the Atlanta Braves on September 1, 2023, at Dodger Stadium in a high-energy MLB matchup. With Max Fried starting for the Braves and Julio Urías on the mound for the Dodgers, both clubs entered with strong form. Atlanta ultimately came out on top, earning a 6-3 win over Los Angeles.
Key moments included a clutch home run from Travis d’Arnaud that helped swing momentum toward Atlanta, along with a composed, effective showing from the Braves’ pitching staff. The Dodgers generated traffic and had solid at-bats from their core, but couldn’t quite keep pace with Atlanta’s relentless offense.
The Braves’ lineup was sharp throughout, with Ronald Acuña Jr. setting the tone at the top and Austin Riley delivering in key spots. On the Dodgers’ side, Freddie Freeman and Mookie Betts were steady contributors, though Atlanta’s arms held firm when it mattered most.
It was a meaningful result for the Braves as they continued to reinforce their standing among the NL’s elite, while the Dodgers looked to regroup quickly and respond in the series.
