Postseason action continued in the National League as the Los Angeles Dodgers secured a three to one victory over the Atlanta Braves to take a two to one advantage in the series. Yoshinobu Yamamoto delivered a stellar pitching performance across seven innings while striking out ten batters, outdueling Chris Sale.

Enrique Hernández drove in the game's opening run with a home run in the fourth inning, and Freddie Freeman added a solo shot shortly after to extend the lead. Drake Baldwin drove in a run for Atlanta during the fifth frame, but Edwin Díaz ultimately closed out the contest to earn the save for Los Angeles.

Meanwhile, the San Diego Padres successfully avoided postseason elimination by narrowly defeating the Milwaukee Brewers four to three. Jake Cronenworth contributed a solo home run during the fifth inning to help propel San Diego to victory at their home ballpark.
