 The Dodgers have hit at least four home runs in four consecutive games, the longest such streak by any team in MLB history. In taking two of three games from the Marlins, the Dodgers hit 14 home runs, the most all-time in franchise history in any three-game series.

 Both the Dodgers and the Braves were swept in two-game interleague series at home on July 23-24 (Dodgers lost 2 vs. LAA and Braves lost 2 vs. KC). Since then, neither team has lost a series.

 Ronald Acuna Jr. hit his 35th home run of the season yesterday, giving the 21-year old 61 HR in his career. Only three players all-time have hit more home runs than Acuna at the age of 21 or younger (based on age at end of season): Mell Ott (86), Tony Conigliaro (84) and Eddie Mathews (72).

 Cody Bellinger set a new career-high with his 40th home run of the season yesterday. Bellinger reached the 40-HR plateau in 118 games, tying Gary Sheffield (2000) for fewest games needed by a Dodger to reach that mark in a single season.

 Mike Soroka has a 2.32 ERA through 21 starts this season -- the last rookie pitcher to have a lower ERA than Soroka through 21 starts in a season was Hideo Nomo of the Dodgers in 1995 (2.28 ERA).

 The Dodgers swept the Braves in three games when these teams met in LA in May, outscoring Atlanta, 23-7, in the process. Dating back to 2016, the Dodgers are 7-3 in their last 10 road games at Atlanta.
