Taylor drives in goahead run; Dodgers top Braves 5-3 in 11

ATLANTA — Chris Taylor had three hits, including the go-ahead double in the 11th inning, lifting the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 5-3 win over the Atlanta Braves on Sunday night.

The Dodgers, who scored two runs in the ninth to force extra innings, won two of three games in the weekend series between the last two World Series champions.

Taylor’s double off Darren O’Day (1-2) glanced off the glove of third baseman Austin Riley as Cody Bellinger scored from third base. Trea Turner padded the lead with a run-scoring single to center field.

Brusdar Graterol pitched a scoreless 11th for his first career save.

Atlanta’s Kenley Jansen and the Dodgers’ Craig Kimbrel (1-3) each had blown saves against their former teams. Jansen gave up two runs in the ninth to blow a 2-0 lead, and Kimbrel gave up Matt Olson’s tying single to lead off the 10th.

Olson’s single to right field drove in Travis d’Arnaud, who opened the inning on second base.

Freddie Freeman’s double down the right-field line to lead off the 10th gave the Dodgers a 3-2

lead.

Freeman capped his emotion-packed return to Atlanta on a high note. With Turner opening the 10th on second base, Freeman’s double off Will Smith drove in the go-ahead run. It was the second hit of the game for Freeman, who also had two strikeouts.

Trayce Thompson’s two-run single off Jansen in the ninth pushed the game to extras.

Jansen’s fourth blown save in 24 chances wasted a strong start by Braves rookie Spencer Strider, who allowed only five hits in six scoreless innings to outpitch Tony Gonsolin.

Jansen recorded two strikeouts, leaving him one out away from his second save in as many nights. He gave up singles to Gavin Lux and Taylor before Thompson’s tworun single to right field carried just over the reach of Braves first baseman Olson.

Michael Harris II made a diving catch of Turner’s sinking liner in center field to end the ninth. He made another improbable catch in the 11th, running down a drive hit by Lux toward right field.

The hard-throwing Strider recorded seven strikeouts with no walks in the longest start of his rookie season.
