UP NEXT:
Dodgers: LHP Clayton Kershaw (3-5, 2.64 ERA) takes the mound in the second of four games at SunTrust Park. He is 3-0 with a 1.47 ERA in nine career starts against Atlanta.
Braves: RHP Mike Foltynewicz (7-6, 2.85) will be looking to get back on track after three straight rough outings. He has surrendered 21 hits, 14 earned runs and four homers in his last 18 1/3 innings.
FAMILIAR FACE
Shortly after the game, the Braves completed a deal to acquire left-hander Jonny Venters from the Tampa Bay Rays.
The 33-year-old Venters came up with the Braves and was a key member of the bullpen until three elbow surgeries stymied his career. He returned this season with the Rays, his first appearance in the big leagues since 2012.
In 22 appearances, Venters went 1-1 with a 3.86 ERA.
The Braves gave up an international signing slot.
TRAINER'S ROOM
Albies was back in the Atlanta lineup after missing four games with a sore right hamstring. The All-Star, one of just two players in the NL with 20 homers and 10 stolen bases, went 0 for 4 and was charged with an error when he made a horrible throw even though he had no chance of getting Alex Verdugo on an infield hit.
