Two home runs from Corey Seager and one each from Kiké Hernandez and Yasmani Grandal keyed a wave of offense that the Dodgers rode to a 12-6 win over the Braves and their third series sweep of the season. Every starter from the Dodgers had a hit, including pitcher Scott Kazmir, who recorded the first multi-hit game of his career. Seager’s star shined brightest, as he went 3-for-5 with two homers and four RBIs. It was his second multi-homer game of the series and the third of his career. He went deep three times in Friday’s opener. “Corey’s doing...

The Omaha Storm Chasers held off a late surge from the Nashville Sounds in a sloppy 6-4 win Sunday afternoon at Werner Park. In a game that featured 12 walks, 3 hit batters and 2 errors, Omaha hung on to even the series after Nashville scored three runs in the ninth inning. Trailing 6-1 going into the ninth, Renato Nunez started the rally with a solo homer to right-center field – his 11th blast of the season. Ryon Healy followed with a double and was quickly brought in when Rangel Ravelo launched the second home run of the inning...

Clayton Kershaw, the National League Pitcher of the Month for May, started June by battling through six shutout innings and scoring a run as the Dodgers blanked the Braves, 4-0, on Saturday night at Dodger Stadium. Kershaw allowed three hits, struck out a season-low four, walked one, was called for a balk and hit the opposing pitcher (emergency starter Bud Norris) with a pitch for the first time in his career. But the Dodgers’ ace also raised his record to 8-1, lowered his ERA to 1.46 and escaped three innings in which the Braves had runners in scoring position....

The Nashville Sounds clubbed three home runs including a grand slam from Joey Wendle on their way to a 13-5 win over the Omaha Storm Chasers Saturday night at Werner Park. The scoring was fast and furious for the Sounds who won for the 18th time in their last 20 games. They’re 34-21 overall and lead the American South Division by 4.5 games. A base hit from Chad Pinder and walks issued to Renato Nunez and Andrew Lambo loaded the bases in the first for Rangel Ravelo. The first baseman made the walks hurt when he rifled a base...

Corey Seager’s first-career three-homer game propelled the Dodgers to a 4-2 win over the Braves on Friday night at Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers only had five hits, but four of them left the yard, as Trayce Thompson, Seager’s roommate, added to Seager’s three solo shots with one of his own. “One of those things, it didn’t matter where it was thrown, it looked like it was on a tee,” Seager said. “That’s a good feeling when you’re hitting, I hope it will be that way tomorrow.” Braves starter Julio Teheran, who allowed Thompson’s homer and two of Seager’s, had...
