The Atlanta Braves defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-5 in a walk-off victory on Wednesday, securing the series win. Roki Sasaki left the game in the fourth inning due to a blister on his finger after 66 pitches, impacting the Dodgers' pitching depth. The Braves initially took the lead with a home run from Matt Olson and later extended it after three runs scored in the fourth inning following Sasaki's exit. The Dodgers tied the game in the seventh, but a walk-off single by Lane Thomas in the ninth sealed the Braves' victory. The Dodgers have now dropped to 80-53 for the season.
