LOS ANGELES (Interstat) — Didier Fuentes and Ray Kerr quieted a powerful Dodgers lineup, Michael Harris II delivered the decisive hit, and the Atlanta Braves held on for a 3-2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday at Dodger Stadium in Game 2 of the NL Division Series. The win evened the best-of-five series at 1-1 and shifted the home-field edge to Atlanta for the next two games. Atlanta improved to 97-70, while Los Angeles fell to 101-63. The game took 3 hours, 18 minutes and drew an attendance of 50,729. The Braves used six pitchers after manager Walt Weiss chose to push Chris Sale’s start to Game 3, a decision that looked bold before the game and shrewd by the end. Fuentes, the top star for Atlanta, followed an opener with 3 2/3 innings of one-hit, one-run work. He struck out three and kept the Dodgers from building any sustained rally. Ray Kerr was equally effective, tossing 2 2/3 scoreless innings with two hits allowed, one walk and four strikeouts. Their efforts allowed Weiss to bridge the game to the back end of the bullpen, and Raisel Iglesias recorded the final out for his 36th save. Dylan Lee earned the win, improving to 8-1, while Kris Bubic took the loss and fell to 4-3. The Braves finished with six hits, the same total as Los Angeles, but Atlanta made its hits count in the biggest moments. Atlanta struck first in the opening inning. Ronald Acuña Jr. singled and moved into scoring position before Mauricio Dubón grounded a single through the infield to bring him home. The Dodgers answered when Freddie Freeman homered to right field in the fourth, tying the game. Blake Snell started for Los Angeles and lasted 3 2/3 innings, allowing three hits and one earned run while walking five and striking out five. Roki Sasaki provided two scoreless innings of relief, and Edwin Díaz added a clean inning with two strikeouts, but the Dodgers could not keep Atlanta off the board in the middle innings. Harris changed the game with his legs and his bat. He tripled in the fifth, then scored on a wild pitch to put Atlanta back in front. In the seventh, Harris doubled sharply to right field to score Matt Olson and give the Braves a two-run cushion. Harris finished 3 for 5 with one RBI, supplying the kind of two-out production Atlanta needed. His double proved critical because the Dodgers kept pressing. Los Angeles got a solo homer from Max Muncy in the ninth to cut the deficit to one, but Iglesias retired the final batter to end the threat. Muncy’s blast came after Freeman had already collected two hits, including his home run, in a 2-for-4 night. The Braves’ bullpen depth was the story. Robert Suarez worked a scoreless inning with one strikeout, and Iglesias closed it out with the final out. The relief corps covered the innings that Weiss needed after opting for an opener for the third straight game. The decision to give Sale extra rest had raised questions, but Atlanta’s pitchers combined to limit Los Angeles to six hits and two runs. The Dodgers’ best chances came late, but they could not string together enough traffic against Atlanta’s relievers. The result leaves the series tied as it moves to Atlanta for Games 3 and 4. Sale and Tyler Mahle are lined up to start those games for the Braves, giving Atlanta a rested rotation for the next two contests. Los Angeles had its moments. Freeman’s homer in the fourth was the Dodgers’ first breakthrough, and Muncy’s home run in the ninth brought the home crowd back into the game. Will Smith and Shohei Ohtani each had tough at-bats against Atlanta’s staff, while Kyle Tucker singled and Andy Pages walked as part of an inning that the Braves escaped. Snell’s five walks prevented the Dodgers from getting deep into the game, forcing the bullpen to take over earlier than planned. Sasaki, Díaz and Evan Phillips combined to keep the Braves scoreless after the seventh, with Phillips retiring the only batter he faced. But the damage had already been done. The Dodgers finished with six hits and left several runners stranded. Atlanta’s victory also had implications beyond the scoreboard. The Braves had lost Game 1 and faced the possibility of falling into a two-game hole against a Dodgers team that won 101 games during the regular season. Instead, Atlanta heads home with momentum and a chance to take control of the series. The Braves’ record now stands at 97-70, while the Dodgers are 101-63. The series status is tied 1-1. The pitching plan that seemed risky worked because Fuentes, Kerr and the bullpen executed. Harris provided the offensive spark, and Iglesias finished it off. The Braves’ defense also did enough behind the pitchers, turning routine plays and avoiding the costly mistake that could have swung the game. The Dodgers will look back at missed opportunities. They had baserunners in the third, fourth, fifth and eighth innings but managed only two runs. Freeman’s solo shot and Muncy’s late homer accounted for the offense. The middle of the order could not deliver a big hit with runners on base. Blake Snell’s five walks were a concern in this game, and the Dodgers’ bullpen had to navigate traffic throughout. Even so, Los Angeles remained within one run until the final out. The home crowd of 50,729 saw a tense playoff game that lasted 3:18 and ended with Atlanta celebrating a split on the road. Didier Fuentes’ performance was especially notable given his recent outings. He had worked sparingly in the previous games against Philadelphia, but he gave Atlanta length and stability in a game that demanded it. Ray Kerr’s 2 2/3 scoreless innings were just as important. Kerr allowed two hits, walked one and struck out four. Robert Suarez added a scoreless inning with one strikeout. Iglesias needed only one out, but it was the biggest out of the night. Atlanta’s six hits were spread across the lineup, with Harris leading the way. Dubón’s first-inning single gave the Braves an early lead, and Harris’ double in the seventh gave them enough separation. Interstat’s game simulator had projected a final score of Atlanta Braves 4, Los Angeles Dodgers 8. Interstat’s ELO system had projected Los Angeles with a 62 percent probability to win. The Dodgers had been installed as a pregame favorite with a spread of -1.5. The total score of 5 went over the over/under line of 7.
