Summary
Los Angeles moved ahead 2-1 in the NLDS with a 3-1 Game 3 win over Atlanta, riding Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s seven strong innings and home runs from Kiké Hernández and Freddie Freeman.
All three Dodgers postseason runs in the series have come on homers, while Edwin Díaz added another scoreless ninth to steady a bullpen that had been under scrutiny.
San Diego stayed alive with a 4-3 win over Milwaukee, trimming the series deficit to 2-1 despite losing closer Mason Miller to the paternity list before first pitch.
Michael King covered the final six outs for the save after the Padres’ bullpen allowed one run over the last 4 2/3 innings, and Jake Cronenworth homered in another one-run game.
That kept both NLDS matchups tight heading into Wednesday’s Game 4s, with the Dodgers able to clinch and the Padres trying to level their series.
