ATLANTA — The Atlanta Braves used to have a bodysuit-and-goggles clad sprinter dubbed “The Freeze” spot a lucky fan a big headstart then race around the warning track at Truist Park to run him down.
With their starting pitching staggering as much as some of those selected fans, the Dodgers’ offense has been facing the same challenge nearly every night lately.
Freddie Freeman hit a three-run home run against his former team and J.D. Martinez had four hits, including two home runs, as the Dodgers absorbed yet another less-than-quality start to beat the Atlanta Braves, 8-6, Monday night.
