Dodgers improve to 7-0 with May`s return and Betts` home run, showcasing strong pitching and timely hitting.

The Los Angeles Dodgers continued their perfect start to the 2025 season, improving to 7-0 after a 3-1 victory over the Atlanta Braves. This impressive run ties them with the 1933 New York Yankees for the best start by a reigning champion.

Dustin May made his highly anticipated return to the mound, pitching for the first time in over 22 months after recovering from elbow surgery and a freak esophageal injury. May delivered a solid performance, allowing just one unearned run over five innings while striking out six batters.

Mookie Betts played a pivotal role in the game, hitting a crucial two-run home run in the sixth inning to secure the lead for the Dodgers. The team`s strong start has been bolstered by exceptional pitching, reflected in their team ERA of 2.25, and timely hitting, showcased by an .864 OPS with runners in scoring position.

Despite missing key players like Freddie Freeman at times, the Dodgers have maintained their dominance at the top of their division. The atmosphere at Dodger Stadium has been electric, with fans rallying behind their team as they aim to keep their undefeated streak alive. The competition in the National League West is intensifying, particularly with the San Diego Padres also boasting an undefeated record.
