"Making his first appearance since the eighth inning of Game 7 of the World Series, Snell showed rust early, allowing a leadoff single to Mauricio Dubon and walking Drake Baldwin. Ozzie Albies' bunt single loaded the bases and after Matt Olson struck out, Dubon scored from third on Austin Riley's fielder's choice to shortstop. Snell struck out Michael Harris II to end the inning on his 25th pitch."
"Atlanta loaded the bases again in the second and Albies poked a two-run single to left. Two more runs scored on Olson's single to right and after an inning and a half the Dodgers trailed 5-0. In the bottom of the inning, Eli White made a sprinting catch on the warning track in right field to rob Max Muncy of extra bases."
"Snell started the season on the injured list with left shoulder fatigue and was brought back from his rehab assignment early to replace Tyler Glasnow, who was placed on the 15-day injury list Friday with back spasms. Snell gave up four earned runs on six hits, with two walks and five strikeouts over three innings and 77 pitches."
"While Snell struggled, Atlanta's Spencer Strider was locked in from the start, giving up one hit and striking out seven batters in six innings before being relieved by Dylan Lee. National League East frontrunner Atlanta (27-13) widened its gap to eight games over Washington while the Dodgers dropped to 24-15 and saw its National League West lead narrowed to one game over San Diego, which beat St. Louis 4-2 earlier in the day."
Blake Snell made his season debut at Dodger Stadium on bobblehead night but allowed early baserunners and runs, including a leadoff single and walks that led to Atlanta scoring in the first inning. Atlanta added more runs in the second inning with a two-run single by Ozzie Albies and additional scoring on Matt Olson’s hit, building a 5-0 lead after 1½ innings. Snell finished with four earned runs on six hits, two walks, and five strikeouts over three innings. Spencer Strider limited the Dodgers to one hit while striking out seven over six innings. Atlanta’s bullpen continued the control, and the Dodgers’ lead in the division narrowed while Atlanta extended its advantage in the standings.
