Ha-Seong Kim hit a walk-off single to help lift the Atlanta Braves to a 6-5 victory over the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Facing Tanner Scott (1-5), Kim, who was 5-for-76 (.066) at the plate entering his first at-bat since Aug. 15, laced his biggest hit of the season for the Braves, who have won three straight and clinched the season series over Los Angeles.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Lane Thomas scored the game-winning run after reaching on a two-out double.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Victor Mederos (3-1) struck out two in a scoreless top of the ninth for the Braves. Drake Baldwin and Sean Murphy both had three hits in the win.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Making just his third start of the season, AJ Smith-Shawver threw five innings of three-run, five-hit ball while striking out three and walking three for Atlanta.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Dodgers starter Roki Sasaki allowed four runs on six hits in 3 1\/3 innings. He struck out three and walked two before exiting in the fourth inning with a blister on his middle finger.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Atlanta struck first on Matt Olson’s solo homer in the bottom of the first. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

In the top of the second, Tommy Edman doubled and scored on Hunter Feduccia’s two-out single to left-center.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

The Dodgers took a 3-1 lead in the third, as Freddie Freeman doubled and scored on Edman’s two-run homer.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Austin Riley drove in the second Atlanta run with a sacrifice fly in the fourth. Murphy then doubled and Sasaki exited with the injury. Edgardo Henriquez entered and allowed Baldwin’s two-run double which gave the Braves a 4-3 edge.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Atlanta doubled the margin in the sixth as Murphy connected on his first homer of the season.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Dylan Lee started the seventh for Atlanta on the mound. The left-hander allowed Shohei Ohtani’s leadoff double, before Freeman and Mookie Betts singled to pull the Dodgers within one.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

After walking Max Muncy to load the bases, Lee was lifted for Didier Fuentes, who walked Edman to tie the game at 5.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Fuentes retired Kyle Tucker and got Alek Thomas to ground into an inning-ending double play.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Both teams wasted prime scoring opportunities in the eighth. After Teoscar Hernandez’s infield single and a pair of two-out walks loaded the bases, Fuentes struck out Muncy after a nine-pitch battle.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Atlanta put runners on second and third with no outs after Baldwin’s second double, but a groundout and a 6-4-3 double play around an intentional walk kept the game level.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
