Dodgers, Braves on brink of advancing in baseball playoffs

The Los Angeles Dodgers exploded for seven runs in the sixth inning Sunday on the way to a 10-4 victory over the Washington Nationals and a commanding lead in their Major League Baseball playoff series. The Dodgers, trying to get back to the World Series for a third straight year after falling to the Houston Astros in 2017 and the Boston Red Sox last year, lead their best-of-five National League Division Series two games to one. Justin Turner's three-run home run capped the sixth-inning outburst that included two-run doubles from catcher Russell Martin and pinch-hitter Enrique Hernandez.
