Shohei Ohtani homers twice, giving him three in two games, as surging Dodgers complete a three-game sweep of the Atlanta Braves.

Dave Roberts seemed a little conflicted before Sunday’s series finale against the Atlanta Braves in Dodger Stadium. The manager didn’t want to put too much emphasis on an early-May series against a potential playoff opponent, saying, “I just want to win as many games as we can,” but as he sized up a “great” trip in which the Dodgers won seven of nine games and a homestand that began with two wins over the Braves, he changed his tune.

The Dodgers had only five hits, four of them by Ohtani, who followed a Mookie Betts walk in the first inning by driving an up-and-in curveball from Braves left-hander Max Fried 412 feet over the center-field wall for a two-run homer. Ohtani also singled in the third inning and singled in the sixth ahead of Teoscar Hernández’s two-run homer to right field, his eighth long ball of the season giving the Dodgers a 4-0 lead.
