Dodgers lose to Braves in walk-off as Sasaki heads to IL

Summary

The Los Angeles Dodgers fell to the Atlanta Braves, 6-5, in a walk-off loss on August 26, 2026, at Truist Park. Ha-Seong Kim's single in the ninth inning scored the winning run after the Dodgers had multiple chances to claim the lead. Roki Sasaki exited the game in the fourth inning due to a blister on his throwing hand, marking his second consecutive poor outing. His departure adds to the Dodgers' rotation concerns as they have struggled against teams above.500 post-All-Star break. The Dodgers now aim to avoid a sweep in the series against the Braves, with Yoshinobu Yamamoto scheduled to start next.
