In a match-up of the last two World Series Champions, the Los Angeles Dodgers (8–2) beat the Atlanta Braves (5–7) Monday night 7–4, as former Brave Freddie Freeman hit his first home run as a Dodger.
In front of the home sellout crowd of 52,052, Freeman heard the roaring chant of “Freddie, Freddie,” after his first inning homer of 386 feet over the left-center wall leading to the Dodgers seventh consecutive victory.
“Glad I got the first one out of the way,” said the 32-year-old. He added that he and Braves catcher Travis d’ Arnaud looked at one another as he came to the plate and both saying, “This is weird.”
