The Los Angeles Dodgers downed the Atlanta Braves with a ninth-inning home run on Wednesday, leaving them 0-7 and the only winless team in the league. It is their worst start since 2016.

Shohei Ohtani hit the tiebreaking home run on his bobblehead night, lifting the unbeaten Los Angeles Dodgers over the Braves 6-5.

The Dodgers improved to 8-0, the best start ever by a defending World Series champion.
