LOS ANGELES — They were down for most of the game, but the Dodgers certainly weren’t out of it.
The Dodgers had their backs against the wall when the Braves jumped out to an early lead against Walker Buehler, but Los Angeles put together a late rally to turn the tables in a 3-2 win at Dodger Stadium on Tuesday night. With the Giants losing to the Brewers, 6-2, in San Francisco, the Dodgers are now just a half-game back in the NL West race.
The Dodgers’ offense was quiet against Braves starter Charlie Morton, who held Los Angeles to one run over six innings. When Atlanta called upon its bullpen, the hits started dropping for the Dodgers and the most important hit belonged to Corey Seager: an RBI double in the bottom of the eighth.
