The history-making run put the boys in blue up 11-0 after the first inning. After the second, the Dodgers were up 12-0 after a Cody Bellinger solo home run.
Three more scores in the third put the Dodgers up 15-0, but a solo home run by Atlanta outfielder Cristian Pache put the Braves on the board — ending the third inning with a 15-1 score.
