Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Atlanta Braves Game Player Stats and Box Scores for September 16

The Los Angeles Dodgers faced the Atlanta Braves for one last time in the 2024 regular season on Monday. The Braves continue their pursuit of the playoffs, as both teams could meet in the postseason if Atlanta makes it through.

Max Fried started for the Braves by striking out Shohei Ohtani and finishing the first inning with ease. Yoshinobu Yamamoto returned to the starting rotation at the most crucial time for his team. However, he gave up a walk in the first inning. With Tyler Glasnow sidelined, Yamamoto is expected to play a significant role heading into the postseason.

Fried had good control at the start, but things fell apart later in the game. Yamamoto was a bit shaky initially, but he continued to work his way out with runners on base.

The Boys in Blue recorded their first run after a wild pitch from Fried. Miguel Rojas rushed to home plate from third base, giving his team a 1-0 lead. The Braves tried to tie the game, but an incredible throw from Kike Hernandez shut them down.

Fried's struggles continued while the Braves offense failed to provide support. Rojas drove in Will Smith with a base hit while Ohtani recorded another hit that got Rojas home. In no time, the Dodgers had a 3-0 lead in the fifth inning.

Yamamoto shined again for his team but was restricted to just four innings. Dave Roberts is keen on keeping his pitchers safe from injuries, especially with the postseason nearing.

The Dodgers brought in Evan Phillips for one inning while Blake Treinen took over. It was not a great outing for Fried, as he retired, giving up three runs in six innings. The seventh inning was a disaster for the Braves as they surrendered six runs in a bases-loaded situation.
