Atlanta Braves walk off against Los Angeles Dodgers for second consecutive game.

Ha-Seong Kim's walk-off single gave the Atlanta Braves a 6-5 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday, marking the second consecutive one-run loss for Los Angeles. SB Sun reported that the defeat leaves the Dodgers two games behind the Milwaukee Brewers for the best record in the National League, while the Braves have moved two games ahead of them.
The loss represents a crushing back-to-back defeat at the hands of Atlanta. The Braves clinched the season series with the victory, adding to the sting of consecutive walk-off losses for a Dodgers team that has stumbled down the stretch.
Kim stepped up in the final inning with the game on the line and delivered the decisive blow. The walk-off single sent the Braves celebration pouring onto the field as the Dodgers absorbed another heartbreaking loss. Daily Breeze noted that the hit exemplified Atlanta's clutch hitting when it mattered most.
The Braves mounted their comeback against Dodgers starting pitcher Roki Sasaki in the fourth inning, scoring three runs to take the lead. OC Register reported that the rally was sparked after a defensive miscue by Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez earlier in the frame. The error proved costly as Atlanta capitalized on the opportunity to flip the momentum.
The Dodgers' ace was forced to leave the game during the Braves' rally after developing a blister on his hand. Daily News reported the injury came at a critical moment, with Sasaki needing to exit before he could stabilize the game. The early exit left Los Angeles scrambling to find pitching depth as Atlanta continued to press their advantage.
