The Dodgers haven’t had a good road trip since the first week of April. But after their malaise through St. Louis and Houston, the Dodgers will return home to Los Angeles with a tall task at hand — facing the Atlanta Braves, owners of the best record in baseball, at 26-11 through Tuesday.
Emmet Sheehan starts on the mound for the Dodgers on Friday night, coming off a loss last Friday in St. Louis, when he struck out eight and walked none, but also allowed four runs on two home runs.
