Dodgers rookie Andy Pages, right, celebrates with teammate Teoscar Hernández after delivering a walk-off single in the 11th inning to beat the Atlanta Braves, 4-3, on Friday night at Dodger Stadium. LOS ANGELES — This time around, there was no playoff seeding at stake, no MVP race to decide and no argument to settle about who is the National League’s best team as October approached.
The anticipation for this Dodgers-Braves matchup was a far cry from the last time the teams dueled at Dodger Stadium late last season. Yet it ended up similar in many ways as the atmosphere only increased as the hour grew late. With a month left in the 2023 regular season, the Braves won three of the four games against the Dodgers in what felt like a National League Championship preview, only to have both teams collapse in the NL Division Series.
The Braves scored in the 10th inning on a sacrifice fly from Orlando Arcia, but Shohei Ohtani wiped out that run with an RBI single in the bottom of the 10th to extend the game.Michael Grove earned the win with a scoreless 11th inning. Pages’ game-winning bloop hit to center field came off veteran right-hander Jesse Chavez, who he battled to a full count in an at-bat that lasted eight pitches.
