Dodgers 5, Braves 0
Andre Ethier's three-run homer was his career-high 21st of the season. (Jon SooHoo/LA Dodgers)
By Ken Gurnick / MLB.com
Jason Schmidt gave the Dodgers plenty of reasons to keep him in their rotation, as he gave up just one hit in six innings of work. Andre Ethier provided the pop for Los Angeles, as he increased his team lead in RBIs with a three-run homer in the fifth and an RBI double in the ninth.
