Dodgers Eliminate Braves in Game 4

The Dodgers eliminated Atlanta with a 4-1 win in Game 4, taking the NLDS 3-1 and advancing to face either the Brewers or Padres. Tyler Mahle, who had excelled since joining the Braves and had no lingering abdominal trouble, started for Atlanta. A dropped pop fly by Mauricio Dubón contributed to a Dodgers run, while Atlanta’s bullpen plan came under scrutiny. The Braves finished a 94-win season and their seventh NL East title since 2018, but again fell short of the NLCS.
