NLDS Game 1 notes: Tarik Skubal, Teoscar Hernández, Max Muncy

The Dodgers kicked off their postseason run on Saturday with a 5-3 victory over the Atlanta Braves in Los Angeles. Pitcher Tarik Skubal delivered six strong innings, allowing just a single run and striking out seven despite navigating a heavy local heat wave.

Teoscar Hernández drove in early runs with a two-run shot in the fourth frame, while Max Muncy set a new franchise postseason home run record by hitting his 17th career playoff blast. Kyle Tucker also contributed a crucial two-run home run to help secure the opening win of the series.
