The Dodgers ace added another ridiculous chapter to his growing postseason résumé Tuesday night, overpowering the Braves in a 3-1 victory in Game 3 of the NLDS at Truist Park and putting Los Angeles one win away from another trip to the NLCS on their quest to become the first National League team in history ever to three-peat as World Series champions.
