Braves bully the Dodgers behind three home runs and Max Fried’s superb pitching

LA Times  

Atlanta’s Ronald Acuna Jr., left, hits a solo home run off Dodgers starting pitcher Julio Urías in the third inning of the Dodgers’ 6-3 loss Friday at Dodger Stadium. Wong didn’t start Friday night because Atlanta Braves starter Max Fried is left-handed, although he pinch-hit in the eighth inning against right-handed reliever Pierce Johnson and hit a three-run home run that accounted for the Dodgers’ only offense. Kolten Wong hits a three-run home run during the eighth inning of the Dodgers’ 6-3 loss Friday to the Atlanta Braves. “I’m excited to play for the Dodgers,” said Wong, who was born on the island of Hawaii and attended high school and college on Oahu.
