Dodgers-Braves Preview

(AP) -- A pair of home run-induced comebacks have the Atlanta Braves on the brink of their first series sweep of the Los Angeles Dodgers in over five years.

They may be hoping that giving the ball to Mike Minor could make things a bit easier on themselves.

Minor looks to continue a dazzling stretch that dates to last season as he attempts to lead the Braves to a third straight win over the Dodgers on Sunday.
