Pederson, who played seven seasons with the Dodgers, went deep in the third inning for a 1-0 lead. Atlanta made it 2-0 in the fourth inning when Travis d’Arnaud doubled into the left field corner to score Austin Riley, who had singled. Betts cut the deficit in half when he lined a home run just over the left field wall in the fourth inning. Buehler gave up two runs on four hits over seven innings with two walks and five strikeouts. Blake Treinen (5-5) struck out all three batters he faced in the eighth inning, and Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen fanned two in a perfect ninth for his 30th save.
