The Los Angeles Dodgers continue their impressive start to the season with a 3-1 victory over the Atlanta Braves, marking their seventh consecutive win. This ties the record for the best start by a defending champion in Major League Baseball history. Key players, including Mookie Betts and Dustin May, made significant contributions. Betts hit a crucial two-run homer, while May displayed stellar pitching, allowing just one run on one hit over five innings. Despite the team’s struggles at the plate, the depth of their roster allowed them to secure another victory against a strong opponent.

May's performance is particularly noteworthy, as he returned from a lengthy injury hiatus, showcasing his potential by striking out six batters and recording a remarkable 35% whiff rate. The Dodgers' ability to win games even when their offense is not firing on all cylinders highlights their resilience and strong pitching staff. The game also featured a mix of strong defensive plays and moments of struggle, but ultimately, the Dodgers’ combination of timely hitting and effective pitching proved decisive.
