00:00Charlie Morton, the veteran right-hander, 37 years old, 4-2, with a 4-26 ERA.

00:07He is making his 12th start this year.

00:09No score, just underway.

00:11Top of the first inning, Dodgers threatening.

00:13Chris Taylor batting cleanup today.

00:17Twice this week, Chris Taylor has come up with the bases loaded,

00:20and twice this week has unloaded the bases with doubles.

00:24Snap throw back to first, and it gets over Freeman.

00:27That will allow Bellinger to take second base.

00:31Betts will come home, and the game's first run belongs to the Dodgers.

00:35Morton, a long look into veteran catcher Kevin Smith.

00:391-2 on the way, clocked out towards Dansby, leaps up into the air, brings it down, and that's out number two.

00:46That looked like he was hit just underneath the label.

00:49He didn't quite get a big pop on it.

00:51It'll bring Matt Beatty up to the plate.

00:53If you can find a way to get through the top of the first inning, giving up just the one run,

00:56you'll feel like you dodged a bullet.

00:58Here's the 1-0 on the way to Beatty.

01:01Popped up, left side, Riley, right back to the bag at third, now in foul ground, makes the catch,

01:07and that's out number three.

01:09Unfortunately, Morton gives up just the one run.

01:12One run, no hits, two errors.

01:14Clayton Kershaw on the mound, 7-4 with a 3-33 ERA.

01:20The 33-year-old left-hander making his 13th start.

01:24Albies at 2-56, nine homers, 34 runs batted in.

01:29Signed down, and the wind in the pitch.

01:32Breaking ball, swung on a missed strike three.

01:34Kershaw got him with a slider.

01:37Three up, three down for the Braves in the first.

01:39We go to the second at Truist Park in Atlanta.

01:42It's the Dodgers, one Braves, nothing.

01:44Two down now for Austin Barnes.

01:47Ozzie shifting to the left side of the infield.

01:49Freddie home alone on the right side.

01:51One ball and two strikes on the pitch on the way from Charlie.

01:54Not a thing wrong with that.

01:56Fastball called third strike.

01:58Had a 1-2-3 inning for Charlie Morton.

02:00No runs, hits, or errors, none left.

02:02We head to the bottom of the second,

02:03with the Dodgers leading the Braves one to nothing.

02:05Swanson is 48 for 203 on the season.

02:11So you go fastball, fastball,

02:13and then Kershaw goes down to 75 on the curveball for the strike.

02:18Kershaw, four for 16 so far this year.

02:22Here's the 1-2 on the way from Morton,

02:24and that's in for a call, third strike.

02:26Dropped a curveball in.

02:27Two down bases empty for Justin Turner,

02:30who reached on the fielding error by Austin Riley in the first inning.

02:332-1-0 Dodgers top of the third.

02:36Base is empty.

02:36Two balls, two strikes, two outs.

02:38Pitch on the way.

02:39Got him.

02:40Good fastball.

02:43Charlie Morton really looking good after that throwing error in the first inning.

02:47He's now retired eight in a row.

02:50No runs, hits, or errors, none left.

02:52We head to the bottom of the third inning with the Dodgers on top of the Braves.

02:54One to nothing.

02:55Braves have runners at first and second with two down for Freddie Freeman.

02:591-0 pitch on the way.

03:00That's clocked in the air out to center field.

03:01Oh, that'll drop for a base hit.

03:03Running third coming to the plate.

03:04Heredia.

03:05The throw from Bellinger is up the line.

03:07And a tie ball game.

03:10Freddie down to second.

03:11Acuna over to third.

03:121-1 here in the third inning.

03:14And now Ozzie takes his crack at Kershaw.

03:18And a 1-2 on the way.

03:19Hit hard down the left field line.

03:21Out there towards the corner.

03:22Down for a base hit.

03:23All the way to the wall.

03:25Acuna will score.

03:26Freeman touches the plate.

03:27An RBI double out of Ozzie Albies.

03:31Gives the Braves a 3-1 lead here in the third.

03:34Dansby struck out back in the second inning.

03:36So, this is his second look at Clayton Kershaw.

03:39Dansby is the eighth Brave to the plate here in the bottom of the third inning.

03:42Braves on top.

03:423-1.

03:44Runners in the quarters.

03:452-1 on the way.

03:46Hit hard.

03:47Out to the gap.

03:48Had a lay down for a base hit.

03:49And roll all the way to the warning track.

03:52Scoring with ease is Ozzie.

03:54Here comes Riley around third.

03:56He will score.

03:58Dansby Swanson with a 2-RBI double.

04:02The Braves have high-fived the Dodgers here in the bottom of the third.

04:06And this place is pulsing with energy.

04:08A. Ray Adrianza comes up for the second time tonight.

04:12Grounded to second baseman Chris Taylor in the shift.

04:16In the second inning.

04:18Here's the 0-2.

04:19Adrianza waves and strikes out.

04:21And Kershaw faces nine.

04:23Five come in to score.

04:26Two on and nobody out for Matt Beatty.

04:29Freeman holding Taylor.

04:30Taylor gets into his lead near the cut of the grass.

04:33And Beatty lines one into left center field.

04:35A base hit.

04:35That's going to get Bellinger in.

04:37Taylor will hold it second.

04:39And the Dodgers get another run back.

04:40It's 5-2.

04:41And an RBI single by Matt Beatty.

04:43Warden's going to face McKinstry, who is hitting 1,000 in his career with bases loaded.

04:52Not only two at-mats, but two hits at four RBIs.

04:56Back up the middle.

04:57Chance for two.

04:58Step on the back.

04:59Swanson throw the first in time.

05:01The Braves will concede the run.

05:03It's the third Dodger run of the game.

05:05The second of this fourth inning, but they'll take the two outs.

05:08No RBI for McKinstry.

05:09But Barnes important to get on with Kershaw on deck.

05:12Trying to get on the other side of that for the following inning.

05:16Ground ball left side.

05:18Backhanded by Swanson.

05:19Loads up.

05:20Throws to first.

05:21It is off the mark.

05:22And safe at first is Barnes.

05:24And he comes up limping.

05:26Scoring from third on the play is Beatty.

05:29It's 5-4.

05:31And Barnes is really limping as he comes back to the first base bag.

05:36Four errors in the first two games of this set.

05:39Riley had one in the first.

05:41This score to run, the pickoff attempt, allowed Betts to come home.

05:45This Swanson error in the fourth inning allowed a run to score as well.

05:49Betts hit by a pitch in the first score to run.

05:52He's grounded out twice since.

05:53He looks at a breaking ball, hits it down to third.

05:55And it's right through the wickets of Austin Riley.

05:59And this guy, Taylor, loves that first pitch.

06:020-2 on the way.

06:03Got him swinging.

06:04Strike three.

06:0797-mile-an-hour fastball.

06:09And that was right on by the swinging bat of Chris Taylor.

06:13No runs.

06:14No hits.

06:15One error.

06:16Two left.

06:17And we'll stretch him out.

06:19Almonte a switch hitter.

06:20A good guy to have in this spot.

06:21He turns around to bat left-handed against Trina.

06:232-1 to Almonte.

06:26That's hit high in the air to deep right field.

06:28Back there towards the pole.

06:30Headed for the chop house.

06:31That's a home run.

06:34Abraham Almonte with a skyscraper to right field.

06:38His first.

06:39And the Braves add on to the lead.

06:40It's 6-4.

06:42So they're loaded up full of Braves for A-Ray Adrianza.

06:47Pitch to Adrianza.

06:49Ground ball right to Trina.

06:51Underhand toss to first.

06:52So the suspense is ended quickly.

06:57One run on the solo home run by Abraham Almonte.

07:00The Braves leave him loaded.

07:01We'll go to the 8.

07:02Two down in the 9th.

07:04Braves need one more out to put this one in the win column.

07:08A 6-4 lead here late.

07:09Here's Justin Turner.

07:111-2 pitch.

07:13Got him looking.

07:14Strike three.

07:15And the series has even won a piece.
