On a cool Monday night at Dodger Stadium, the Los Angeles Dodgers lengthened their winning streak to six when the Dodgers defeated the Atlanta Braves 6-to-1. Teoscar Hernández had a two-run homer, and Michael Conforto had an important double. Will Smith singled in a run, and Kiké Hernández homered. Tyler Glasnow sparkled in his five innings, and the Dodger bullpen was great.
