Freddie Freeman hit his 18th career postseason home run Tuesday, moving into a tie for 10th on MLB’s all-time list as the Dodgers beat the Braves 3–1 in NLDS Game 3.

Freeman’s solo shot off Chris Sale in the fourth inning extended Los Angeles’ lead to 3–0 at Truist Park. Mauricio Dubón had robbed him of a potential homer in the third.

The home run was Freeman’s second of this postseason. He joined seven other players at 18, including Dodgers teammate Max Muncy, who reached the mark in Game 2, according to MLB.com.

Kiké Hernández hit a two-run homer earlier in the fourth. Freeman finished 1-for-4 with a walk as Los Angeles took a 2–1 series lead.
