With Saturday's victory, the Dodgers are now 23-10 on the season, putting them in first place in the National League West with a 1 ½ game advantage over the San Diego Padres (-500 to win the division, per BetMGM ). Los Angeles' plus-43 run differential is the third highest in the NL, trailing only the New York Mets and the Chicago Cubs.

Dodgers rookie right-hander Roki Sasaki had to wait a while, but the wait was well worth it on Saturday at Truist Park.

Freddie Freeman homered and drove in four runs, Shohei Ohtani also went deep and Roki Sasaki earned his first major league win as the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Atlanta Braves 10-3 for their seventh
