Joey Wendle drove in four runs and finished a triple shy of hitting for the cycle, leading the Miami Marlins to an 11-4 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday night. The 33-year-old Wendle batted ninth in the order, and delivered a homer, double and single to highlight the 13-hit attack of the surging Marlins, who won their sixth straight game. Miami moved ahead of Cincinnati in the race for the NL’s third wild-card spot.

The NL MVP race is going down to the wire, with Atlanta’s Ronald Acuña Jr. Acuña is having a career year playing for a 90-win Braves team with the best record in baseball that's a virtual lock to win the NL East. Betts is posting his best numbers since winning AL MVP with the Boston Red Sox in 2018.

Ronald Acuña Jr. homered for the third straight night at Dodger Stadium and Orlando Arcia hit a three-run shot in the 10th inning that sent the streaking Atlanta Braves to a 4-2 victory over Los Angeles on Saturday. Acuña's 454-foot drive to center field came off his bat like a rocket at an astounding 121.2 mph — the hardest-hit ball in the majors this year. “I never imagined that was going to be the exit velocity on it,” Acuña said through a translator.

The Atlanta Braves haven't had much regular-season success at Dodger Stadium since 2014. Fried tossed seven shutout innings in the stadium located about 15 miles from his old high school, and the Braves beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-3 on Friday night for their fifth straight win.

Mookie Betts launched his career-high 36th home run, David Peralta went 3 for 4 and drove in a pair of runs and the Los Angeles Dodgers routed the Arizona Diamondbacks 9-1 on Tuesday night for their fourth consecutive win at home. Clayton Kershaw (12-4) allowed one run and three hits in five innings, struck out five and walked three. “I don't know that I ever got going, honestly,” Kershaw said.
