Dodgers Fight to Avoid Sweep Against Braves | Atlanta News

The Dodgers are clinging to a two-game lead for the NL’s second seed — and a first-round playoff bye — as they face a brutal must-win Game 3 against Atlanta’s Chris Sale. Already down 2-0 in a nail-biter series, they’re desperate to avoid a sweep that could cost them home-field advantage. With Sale on the mound — who’s been lights out this season and already held the Dodgers to just two earned runs — the Dodgers turn to ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto (2.61 ERA) and lineup tweaks to spark offense. Manager Dave Roberts admits it’s an “uncomfortable position,” but vows to fight. First pitch: 4:15 PM PT. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
