Freddie Freeman Silences Atlanta Crowd With Playoff Home Run in Game 3

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman hit his 18th career postseason home run off Chris Sale in a 3-1 NLDS Game 3 win over the Atlanta Braves. Playing through right knee patellar tendonitis, Freeman brushed off heavy boos from his former home crowd at Truist Park, stating he expected the reception while wearing a road uniform. He added crucial defense with a game-ending pick at first base, moving Los Angeles within one victory of advancing to the NLCS.
