Los Angeles: Dodgers pitcher Dustin May delivered a strong performance in his return to Major League Baseball, leading the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 3-1 victory over the Atlanta Braves. This win extended the Dodgers’ season-opening streak to a record-setting seven games.
May, who had been sidelined since May 17, 2023, due to elbow surgery and an esophagus tear, pitched five innings, allowing just one unearned run and one hit. He also walked three and struck out six Braves batters.
The game saw Mookie Betts hit a pivotal two-run homer in the sixth inning, while Will Smith contributed with an RBI single. The Dodgers’ current winning streak marks the longest for the team in the Los Angeles era at the start of a season.
The victory came as the Dodgers hosted the Braves, building on the team’s early success and showcasing May’s promising return to the pitching mound.
