By the eighth inning, Baldwin singled to right and scored Mateo, pushing the Braves' lead to 7–0. Atlanta's resilience and consistency at the plate proved too much for the Dodgers to overcome.

Pages stepped to the plate and drove a fastball that traveled an impressive 397 feet to left center field. His home run cut the deficit, bringing Call across home plate as well. The final score read 7–2 in favor of the Braves, but the Dodgers' late rally showed resilience despite their struggles. Atlanta's dominant pitching performance and early offensive explosion secured the victory. Spencer Strider's presence on the mound, combined with timely hitting from the Braves lineup, proved decisive. This win kept Atlanta's momentum rolling with a winning streak alive.
